“One of His Relatives Must Be Scottish” – Weeks After Getting Snubbed Off Welterweight Dreams, Conor McGregor Mocks Gilbert Burns Leaving Fans in Splits

Conor McGregor, known for his prowess in the fighting arena, has also established himself as one big troll, sparing no one from his biting remarks. His sharp tongue and provocative nature have earned him a reputation as a master of verbal warfare. The Irishman’s ability to push people’s buttons is second to none, often leading to explosive altercations reminiscent of a powder keg waiting to explode. And his new target of choice has been Gilbert Burns.

Previously, when McGregor expressed his desire to pursue the welterweight title, the Brazilian fighter made some disparaging comments about him. In response to McGregor’s ambition, ‘Durinho’ dismissed the idea and delivered a rather degrading remark about the former double champ.

The 36-year-old said, “The only thing he can do at 170 is make whoever’s the champion rich”. Perhaps this exchange planted the seed of bad blood between them the two. And recently, McGregor took a snide jibe at Burns in an unexpected manner, responding to a tweet that depicted the Brazilian fighter as ‘overrated.’ This remark by ‘The Notorious’ has garnered significant attention from fans, who have chimed in with their reactions.

Fans put out hilarious reactions as Conor McGregor trolls Gilbert Burns

Recently, a tweet surfaced, labeling Gilbert Burns as an overrated fighter. The tweet highlighted various aspects, including the claim that Burns’ biggest achievement was having a close fight with Khamzat Chimaev. It pointed out that since 2019, Burns hasn’t defeated an opponent under the age of 35 and fell short against fighters like Belal Muhammad and Dan Hooker.

Conor McGregor joined in on the trolling, but in his typical fashion, took a completely different angle. Rather than attacking Burns’ fighting ability, McGregor chose to ridicule the Brazilian fighter for his first name.

The Irishman wrote, “Ye but what a name, “gilbert” 😂😂”. This unexpected remark compelled fans to rush to the comment section, sharing their thoughts on McGregor’s unconventional trolling tactic.
