Twitter wasn't impressed, with many users pointing out that the statue looks nothing like the UFC star. The museum seemed to take the criticism in stride, though, pointing out that McGregor's dad, Tony, liked it and even began to throw insults back at the trolls.
Well now his Dad says it's good. And my mom says I'm cool too 😂 @Stephenarch78 @FM104 @TheNotoriousMMA
