'Don't Let Them Distract You While They Rob Our Country Blind', Says Conor McGregor Amid Azaalia Banks Row
Banks claimed that McGregor sent her a couple of explicit images, and instead of confirming or denying the allegations, McGregor took a crack at Irish President hopeful McGuinness. Conor McGregor took to the social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to crack a political joke a couple of days after American rapper Azealia Banks exposed the combat artist for sending her unsolicited nude images. Banks had shared a couple of explicit images of McGregor, one in which the Irishman was holding weights with the caption that read, 'Lifting Weights', while the other reeked of a warning labelled 'Don't be a rat cos all rats get caught.' However, instead of confirming or denying it, McGregor chose to respond to a social media user who had alluded to the allegations after the fighter's criticism of Irish presidential hopeful Mairead McGuinness. 'Don't let them distract you with my G C while they rob our country blind," McGrogor's post read. Don't let them distract you with my G C while they rob our country blind! — Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) July 15, 2025 'Didn't she just get caught defrauding the state?" McGregor's comment on McGuniess use of EU expenses read. The user had posted an update that read, 'This is why the big news is Conor's giant cock rather than the facts he is spraying." Didn't she just get caught defrauding the state? — Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) July 15, 2025 And while dealing with the ordeal, what did the former MMA fighter do? He was celebrating his 37th birthday on a yathc in Ibiza in Spain. McGregor has been a flagbearer for the world of combat sports since he made the headlines for his in-ring domination of opponents for a prolonged period of time. The Irishman has not been one to shy away form controversies or the tabloid columns. view comments First Published: July 17, 2025, 09:46 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Atletico Madrid signs American midfielder Johnny Cardoso in a 5-year deal
Atletico Madrid continues to boost its squad for next season, signing young American midfielder Johnny Cardoso from Real Betis. The 23-year-old Cardoso arrived on a five-year contract, Atletico said Wednesday. Cardoso was born in the United States but is of Brazilian descent and has an Italian passport, meaning he doesn't occupy a non-European Union slot in Diego Simeone's squad. The holding midfielder played in Brazil until moving to Betis in the 2023-24 season, where he became an important player for Manuel Pellegrini's team. Cardoso made his senior debut for the United States in a match against Wales in 2020. He has 22 caps, winning the CONCACAF Nations League in 2023 and 2024. Cardoso had to withdraw from Mauricio Pochettino's CONCACAF Nations League squad in March due to a muscle injury. Atletico on Tuesday reached an agreement to sign 24-year-old Argentina international Thiago Almada from Brazilian club Botafogo. Red and white family, Johnny has a message for you! — Atlético de Madrid (@atletienglish) July 16, 2025 It previously had boosted its squad by signing midfielder lex Baena from Villarreal and 22-year-old Italian left back Matteo Ruggeri from Atalanta. Simeone's team finished third in the Spanish league last season, behind Real Madrid and champion Barcelona. It was eliminated in the group stage of the Club World Cup.
