RTÉ commentator Tony O'Donoghue has come in for quite a bit of criticism on Twitter after he revealed his disdain for MMA in the wake of UFC Fight Night Dublin. O'Donoghue sent a tweet to Conor McGregor after he defeated Diego Brandao in a first round knockout, something which wasn't well received by fans of the sport.
@TheNotoriousMMA Sorry but that's disgusting. #notsport

@Corktod @TheNotoriousMMA Safer than boxing and the fastest growing sport tony. Showing ignorance — Chris Hinchey (@IstyH) July 19, 2014
We'll give Tony the last word here but he might be fighting a losing battle on this one.
@IstyH @TheNotoriousMMA I might be ignorant. Not a big fan of boxing either. This takes the worst of the fight game to a new level.
