Regardless of the promo doling out among the biting trash speak that McGregor himself is thought for – or least was earlier than the mild-mannered build-up to his combat in opposition to Cerrone – the channel was compelled to drag the promo from air and their social media accounts after receiving complaints.

However because the saying goes, typically any publicity is sweet publicity, and 1000’s of Russians are prone to be tuning into the motion from Las Vegas in what would be the early hours of Sunday morning for most of the inhabitants.
