Apart from your evergreens like yer Bonos and yer whoever elses, i'm not sure there are too many Irish people who are more famous that him in Ireland right now. I'm open for correction (again)

He’s not one of the fellas, he’s not a good dude. ‘But it is what it is, he’s done a good job promoting the sport.

For a grown man to walk around with a cowboy hat on non-stop to hide receding hair and baldness, it takes a lot of ego. His ego is obviously hurt by the emergence of Conor. He gets paid way less than Conor, gets way less attention and comes across as a parody of Stone Cold. Before the rise of McGregor there was a case that Cowboy was one of the top 3 or 4 draws/characters in the UFC. Now, he's just another dude. Don't get me wrong, i think he's a brilliant fighter to watch and his fights are always entertaining but he's clearly affected by jealousy.

If you showed the blue rinse brigade and housewives, as well as a lot of older men who have no interest in MMA pics of McGregor and pics of the people I listed, everyone I listed would be more famous. Most of the younger generation who would recognise McGregor would also recognise the people I named. It's not rocket science.
