Dan Hardy was not impressed by Conor McGregor’s apology

Conor McGregor has finally issued a real apology for the pandemonium he caused at last weekend’s Bellator 187 card in Dublin. See that apology below:

I sincerely apologize for my behavior at last weekends fight event in Dublin. While trying to support a loyal teammate and friend, I let my emotions get the best of me and acted out of line. As a multiple weight UFC champion, executive producer, role model and public figure, I must hold myself to a higher standard. The referee Marc Godard was making a horrendous decision in trying to pick an unconscious fighter up off the floor and force the fight to continue into the second round. Even against the wishes of the said fighters coach. The fight was over. After witnessing my fighter in a fight where the worst happened and the opponent passed away from his injuries on the night, I thought the worst was about to happen again, and I lost it and over reacted. I am sorry to everyone. I sincerely apologize to the Director of the Mohegan Tribe Department of Athletic Regulation, Mike Mazzulli, all the officials and staff working the event, Andy Ryan and his fighter John, two stonch ones that put up a great fight every time. That side will always have my respect, and lastly every one of my fans. I love yous all! I’ve always learned from my mistakes and this will be no different.

Unfortunately, not everyone is buying McGregor’s long-awaited apology. Many fans and pundits – including UFC commentator Dan Hardy – feel it seems to lack sincerity.

Here’s what Dan Hardy had to say about Conor McGregor’s “apology.”

Apologize at the start and finish of the statement, but put your real thoughts/excuse in the middle. That’s called a #ShitSandwich 😐 pic.twitter.com/hINrxVlkWz
