They say that Ireland's greatest export is Guinness. That was before Conor McGregor came along and took over the world and you would think that the two combined would make one hell of a partnership!
That's why fans and even some MMA fighters are bemused by his latest endorsement.
I have inked a deal with @budlight. It is an honor to team up with this game changing brand as I too change the game. pic.twitter.com/2AdR2bBzpP

Former olympian, MMA fighter and grappler Ben Askren has some particularly harsh words on the subject.
@FrontRowBrian @superCalo can't believe McGregor signed with Bud Light and not Guinness! What a traitor. National embarrassment to Ireland.

If he's joking then that's quite funny, if not, he can expect a reply from Conor any day now.
