Conor McGregor sculpture ripped from Wax Museum as court verdict continues to melt ‘Notorious’ empire

Conor McGregor continues to be wiped from the public eye in the wake of his high-profile civil suit, which found the former UFC two-division champion and one-time boxer liable for sexual assault. The ruling will cost him upward of $260,000, pending appeal.

Not long after McGregor was scrubbed from the Proper 12 brand, a sculpture of “Notorious” was yanked from the Irish Wax Museum, according to a report from The Journal. Considering how awful it looked, they might have done him a favor.

McGregor has not competed since summer 2021 and is not expected to make his Octagon return until late 2025, assuming he returns at all. The part-time actor still has to deal with this upcoming lawsuit filed by his former friend and training partner.

As for his sexual assault trial, McGregor maintains his innocence and hopes to reverse the decision with a formal appeal in the coming weeks. Until then, “Notorious” may have a difficult time convincing his existing partners to stick around.
