‘Arrogant a**hole’ So, Instagram is RAGING with Conor McGregor
He may be one of the more controversial sports stars to emerge from Ireland in recent years, but it looks like Conor McGregor may have gone too far this time.
The UFC fighter, who recently defeated Nate Diaz, has taken a battering on Instagram after uploading a photograph of himself posing with a machine gun.
Dressed in a robe with his finger on the trigger, Conor sparked serious debate among his followers – many of whom insist the picture is in bad taste.
"You have kids that's look up to you dude stop being such an arrogant a**hole bro," wrote one of the Dubliner's followers this morning.
Remarking on the upload which 28-year-old Conor captioned 'You need people like me', a fan of the star wrote: "As huge a McGregor fan as I am, holy f*ck does that look unnatural. Also the finger on the trigger makes me cringe."
"Last photo i thought I'd ever see you in..all the sh*t going on with guns and you pose that," added another.
Ah why did McGregor just post a photo on Instagram holding a gun

While some Instagram users condemned the star for glorifying gun culture, others took a more lighthearted approach and pulled Conor up on the juvenile nature of the shot.
"I know you are a fighting champion, but why do you look like a 6 year old on Christmas Day in this photo?" asked one.
Something tells us Conor would be more put out by that than anything else…
