Conor McGregor shares two-word reaction following Justin Timberlake's DUI arrest
The internet is going crazy over the recent DUI arrest of Justin Timberlake - so much so that even Conor McGregor and the MMA world are affected by it. The 43-year-old Grammy-winning recording artist drove through a stop sign and swerved into oncoming traffic around midnight in the Hamptons.
Though Timberlake has had his fair share of controversies through the years, getting arrested for DUI isn't at the top of his list. This is, perhaps, why the internet is reacting so strongly to this recent arrest.
McGregor, who has rubbed elbows with Justin Timberlake in the past, posted words of support for 'JT' on his Instagram stories:
"Free JT!"

Conor McGregor pulls out of UFC 303, citing last-minute injury as the reason
Not to be outdone with producing controversy, Conor McGregor also has been circulating in the MMA media lately, though not for reasons directly under his control.
Ahead of his much-awaited return at UFC 303 set for June 29, rumors started circulating of his main event fight with Michael Chandler being canceled. This was in light of the event's abrupt media day cancelation.
After a week of heavy speculation, the bad news was made official by UFC president Dana White, who subsequently announced that the new main event of UFC 303 will be Alex Pereira vs. Jiri Prochazka for the UFC light-heavyweight world title.
McGregor himself posted on Instagram to address the bad news, saying:
"Very tough to be ruled out of my scheduled return bout. I picked up an injury prior to the press conference that required more time to heal than was available to me. The decision to postpone the fight was not made lightly, but one made in consultation with my doctors, the UFC, and my team. My fans and opponent deserve me at my best for this fight and we will get there! Thank you for the messages of support, I am in good spirits and confident I’ll be back! ☘️"
