McGregor is one of the biggest personalities in Ireland and Katie Taylor believes he should be celebrated even more than in their country. Taylor even compared ‘The Notorious’ with the boxing legend, Mohammad Ali and called him the Ali of UFC.

She was called out by many people on social media and got mocked for comparing Conor McGregor with Ali. The former UFC women’s Flyweight title challenger, Lauren Murphy is one of those people who came in defense of Taylor.

While replying to one of the MMA journalist’s comments, Lauren Murphy says, “Lol just saw an MMA writer on here, who went 0-1 in amateur MMA, say that Katie Taylor, one of the most accomplished female boxers in history, “needs to learn some more about fighting”. Lol the arrogance wtf man.”

When she was corrected by one of the fans who tried to defend that journalist, Lauren Murphy added, “No. She went on to talk about how she was talking about his business acumen, popularity, & transcendence of the sport. What does that have to do with her “learning some more about fighting”?? And who tf is he to talk about her like that? She knows more about fighting than him.”

“She absolutely can put them in the same sentence, cause it’s her OPINION,” Lauren Murphy further doubles down her support for Katie Taylor

Another Twitter user tried to correct Lauren Murphy once again by saying that you can’t put Conor McGregor and Muhammad Ali in the same line. A Twitter user named, Angry Dana says, “He probably meant learn more about fighting history. Just because you’re good at fighting doesn’t mean you know more than someone about the history of the sport. You just cannot put McGregor and Ali in the same sentence.”

But Murphy didn’t even stop here, she doubles down her support towards Katie Taylor saying, “Lololololol who cares what he meant. How tf that guy gonna tell Katie Taylor anything? She absolutely can put them in the same sentence, cause it’s her OPINION. She was talking about business success, popularity,& world wide fame. Or do you think Ali & McGregor don’t have those?”
