McGregor was not only discussed in the public sphere surrounding MMA or sport anymore, but in the fashion public sphere as different publications and websites began writing about him such as recurrent appearances and collaborations with GQ.

Conor McGregor's role in fashion displays this connective tissue as he demonstrates a new way of connecting with the public and his fandom that spectate him or follow him.

Fry describes comeback stories as 'fairy-tales' hence why we find an appeal for a comeback story in media (Fry, 2011). We have the feeling that a comeback story is impossible and unrealistic hence why we find so much enjoyment in witnessing it as it creates a sense of escapism from our own lives, yet witnessing it in celebrities which we find comfort in. ]]> 2022-11-04 02:53:59 UTC https://padlet.com/psmsinke/rmwzuyrqlly92th1/wish/2369473514 psmsinke https://padlet.com/psmsinke/rmwzuyrqlly92th1/wish/2371972757 Conor McGregor's outfit choices are described as 'flashy' while also being called most definitely not 'the best-dressed athlete', a take that might be contested by some people.

The video has racked up over 8 million views on just the UFC channel.

Conor McGregor would show up to the event intoxicated, promoting his new business adventure, Proper Twelve, meanwhile offending Khabib Nurmagomedov alcohol, which is against his beliefs, and offending his family, team and country by insulting them continuously throughout the press conference.]]> 2022-11-07 20:44:16 UTC https://padlet.com/psmsinke/rmwzuyrqlly92th1/wish/2373833215 psmsinke https://padlet.com/psmsinke/rmwzuyrqlly92th1/wish/2373872051 The article describes how McGregor image has turned as he is not seen as 'the National Emblem' anymore but instead 'a Villain' as the people from his own country have stopped seeing him as a role model but rather suggests a criminal due to the sexual allegations that are thrown at him and due to the video of him assaulting a man at a bar.
