One fan backed Paul, writing:
''Unfortunately Conor is getting slept by fake Paul, another one bites the dust''
Another one mocked McGregor, writing:
''Going to be a snooze fest , when was the last time McGregor won a fight???''
Other fans wrote:
''Bro has said he’s coming back to fighting next year for years, just to book a fight for a YEAR out… Washed beyond washed''
