Arsenal fans felt uncomfortable watching McGregor playfight with Saka

Conor McGregor's post-match antics at the Emirates Stadium have left Arsenal fans feeling uncomfortable at the sight of the MMA fighter with Bukayo Saka.

The UFC legend, who was a guest at the Gunners' Champions League win over PSG, was seen trying out his MMA moves on Bukayo Saka.

In a video clip posted on social media, Saka can be heard telling McGregor to “be careful” as he delivers a series of kicks and punches to the Arsenal star. Saka also joked afterwards that McGregor “could have torn my ACL” with his aggressive moves.

McGregor also enjoyed a post-match kick-off with Saka and Declan Rice at the Emirates Pitch, although this did not cause quite as much uneasiness among Arsenal fans.

Even though the interaction was intended as harmless fun, many Arsenal fans have expressed their displeasure with McGregor's behavior.

Some have accused him of being an “idiot” for putting Saka in danger, particularly as the winger has important games coming up for both Arsenal and the England national team.

Some Arsenal fans even suggested the club should ban him from future games, while others simply urged him to show more respect to the players.
