If you’re running an official UFC social media account it’s probably not a good idea to release video of your biggest star casually dropping homophobic slurs.
On Saturday, the official UFC Europe twitter account released backstage footage of McGregor calling Andre Fili a “faggot’ while consoli Artem Lobov.
BT Sport’s official BTSport UFC Twitter also released a reverse angle of the video that shows McGregor using the slur.
Both tweets have since been deleted but as we all know nothing is ever truly deleted from the Internet.
