He still sees himself as cock of the walk but the reality is that Conor McGregor’s career is fading fast, and this was never better evidenced than at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium during the week.Pictures and footage emerged of the cage fighter on the pitch after the Gunners victory over Paris Saint-Germain, which showed him play fighting with Bukayo Saka at one stage.
