In today’s video, I react to a powerful moment that’s gone viral in the combat sports world. Irish MMA fighter Paddy McCorry made headlines after winning his fight against Israeli opponent Shuki Farage, when he held up the Palestinian flag in the ring and was heard repeating a well-known chant of support. The crowd responded, and the scene quickly spread across social media.
This wasn’t just a post-fight celebration—it was a rare, public display of solidarity on a major platform. As someone who follows the intersection of sports, politics, and public figures closely, I had to weigh in.
⚖️ It’s especially striking when you compare this to Conor McGregor, another famous Irish fighter, who has previously made public statements in support of Israel. The contrast between the two fighters highlights how different public figures choose to use (or not use) their platforms.
🗣️ Let’s talk about it:
Is this a turning point for athletes speaking out on global issues?
Should sports remain separate from political messages—or is this the new normal?
