Kast Conors kom flestum á óvart en hann sjálfur sagðist eftir á hafa verið ánægður með það.
Hann breytti því þá ekki að verða að aðhlátursefni á samfélagsmiðlum vestan hafs.
Bandaríkjamenn læra flestir að kasta snemma á ævinni enda mikill hafnaboltaáhugi í landinu.
Conor kemur frá Írlandi og er eins og flestir vita margfaldur meistari í blönduðu bardagaíþróttum.
Frammistaðan í síðustu bardögum hefur ekki verið ein glæsileg og áður enda kappinn orðinn 33 ára gamall og á lokakafla síns bardagaferils.
Hér fyrir neðan má sjá nokkur viðbrögð við þessu hörmulega kasti Conors McGregor.
The power was there, but the precision...

Folks I m calling this as the worst first pitch in history. It s so much worse than 50 cent, Chris Rock, or Baba Booey because he s a professional athlete. https://t.co/xlevlFwaXR

The DGAFness to throw the ball at that intent with no intentions of throwing a strike with the camera crew literally right in front of hit face is the DGAFness I can get behind. https://t.co/Ow8Ii4Orss
