Content creator Myron responded to UFC’s Conor McGregor’s public statements urging world leaders to support Israel.
“Did you see that Conor McGregor calls for full support of them boys and urging world leaders to support the nation?” Myron asked his audience during the stream.
The streamer expressed frustration with the UFC organization and went on to discuss its ownership structure, specifically highlighting Ariel Zev Emanuel, the CEO of Endeavor and TKO Group Holdings, which owns both UFC and WWE.
“You guys know who runs UFC, right?” Myron stated. “This is the guy that owns [it]… He’s an American businessman and CEO of Endeavor, an entertainment and media agency, as well as CEO and executive chairman of TKO Group Holdings.”
In a surprise to nobody, Myron also had a startlingly bad podcast appearance on Jake Shields podcast in which they took turns regurgitating inacurrate facts about women, history and world war II.
Shields is also big on dissing Ari Emanuel, which he also did in an episode featuring Belal Muhammad.
Shields prodded:
“There may be some people that don’t like you with the UFC. I think Dana is fine with you, but, like, here, some of the people at ESPN from inside don’t exactly love you, maybe because of the Palestinian heritage. The owner of the UFC, um, his dad was a literal terr*rist”
Muhammad responded:
“For me right it’s I’m just happy that I got the opportunity,” Muhammad said. “People like will say it and they’ll do this but like you said Dana it doesn’t really matter to him. I’m glad that it took me the long road but they did give it to me right so I just had to make the most of it.”
In his clip Myron went further.
Myron proceeded to discuss Emanuel’s family background, noting that his father, Benjamin M. Emanuel, was allegedly involved with the Ergun, which Myron described as “a paramilitary organization” and “a terrorist organization.”
The comments come amid increased public scrutiny of celebrities and public figures who have taken positions on the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. McGregor’s reported statements supporting Israel have evidently sparked debate among followers of the sport.
Neither the UFC nor McGregor have publicly responded to Myron’s comments at the time of publication.
