The social media of Conor McGregor is the source that often leads to him having beef and altercations with other UFC fighters. The Notorious shares rivalries with several UFC fighters and takes to social media to post what he feels about them.
The Irishman commonly mentions names like Khabib Nurmagomedov and Kamaru Usman while he’s bantering on the internet. However, this time McGregor chose someone else to start beef with.

Recently, the Notorious exchanged some verbal jabs against former UFC middleweight champion, Michael Bisping.
Conor McGregor’s tweet that initiated the altercation
The Mystic Mac posted a tweet that sparked the entire banter. McGregor wrote, “All these little twerps wanna be actors now. Little twerps. There’s only one Mac Daddy. Bad to the bone but with a good heart. Action with Jake Gyl or Rom-Com with Sarah Jessica. Bisping, member that show you were in, ye me neither 😂😂”
McGregor, being his classic self, deleted the tweet. However, The Count had received the message. Bisping responded on his podcast and said when he read the message, he wasn’t annoyed. The Brit said, “I wasn’t annoyed or anything, just scratching my head going where does that come from? I mean, God bless him.”
Bisping further congratulated McGregor for his upcoming debut in Hollywood, moreover, for working with Jake Gyllenhaal. However, he was seemingly bothered by McGregor’s comments. Bisping said, “why you gotta throw sh*t my way? I don’t get it.”

UFC light-heavyweight, Anthony Smith, who’s also the co-host of the podcast, reacted to McGregor’s tweet and said, “when I saw that, like, if he didn’t have all of his bodyguards, and you and him ran into each other just somewhere out and he didn’t have 10 friends or five bodyguards or whatever, he wouldn’t dare say something like that to you. And that’s the craziest thing to me. Why be an a*shole?”
