Conor McGregor has gotten into yet another public feud. Recently, he and the British YouTuber, Brian Davis, popularly known as True Geordie, have been trading jibes at each other on social media. However, Geordie ended up challenging ‘Notorious’ in a fight for charity. Following this challenge, a video of McGregor fighting a 7-foot-tall giant has gone viral on social media, garnering reactions from the fans.

True Geordie is one of the UK’s most recognized YouTubers, hailing from Newcastle. He is popular for his ‘True Geordie Podcast’ and sometimes giving commentary on a variety of topics. Recently, the Newcastle-born YouTuber took aim at McGregor for his silly behavior during interviews and heavily criticized him on social media. This did not sit well with the former UFC double champ and he fired back at Geordie, calling him a nobody.

Hafthor Bjornsson, better known as ‘The Mountain’ gained prominence after winning the World’s Strongest Man competition. Moreover, he gained most of his popularity due to his role as Gregor Clegane from the  TV show ‘Game of Thrones’. He once had a sparring session with UFC megastar Conor McGregor back in 2015, which blew up on the internet. Although it wasn’t a serious spar, the sight of a featherweight McGregor taking on superheavyweight Bjornsson made for a very entertaining sight.

In the wake of True Geordie’s challenge to McGregor, the video has gone viral on social media. The caption in the video captured the essence of what would happen in a fight involving the former UFC double champion and the YouTuber. Fans were quick to flock into the comment section to share their opinion about the situation.
