UFC fighter Conor McGregor is reportedly under investigation for tweeting about the Dublin riots last week. This saw five people stabbed, including three children. The riots exploded exponentially with rumors that the attacker outside a Dublin school was a foreign national. McGregor did not condone the rioters, but he did take aim at the leadership of Ireland and its immigration policies, saying that “change” was needed.

Now, the Irishman is under investigation to see if his commentary has incited any violence. McGregor had tweeted in response to a video of Ireland’s Garda chief Drew Harris condemning the violence as “disgraceful” and driven by a “hooligan faction driven by far-rightist ideology”. Amidst the unrest and political upheaval, Conor McGregor has sought to respect his roots. Taking to X, in a new tweet since then, the fighter wrote:

My mother raised me to stand by what is right, to call out what is wrong.
