Conor McGregor responded to this by posting a tweet regarding Khabib’s late father, a move that was condemned by many in the MMA community.
Former UFC champ-champ Daniel Cormier also criticized McGregor and noted that the Irishman’s tweet was a “cry for help.” This elicited a response from McGregor, who mocked DC’s weight.
DC later addressed Conor McGregor’s jibes on the latest edition of ESPN’s DC & RC podcast. Daniel Cormier advised McGregor to focus on himself and the fighters beating him rather than turning his attention to Cormier. Not one to be outdone, ‘Notorious’ put forth a series of now-deleted tweets against Cormier:
Conor McGregor recalled UFC 264 and DC’s loss to Jon Jones at UFC 214
Conor McGregor referenced Cormier self-admittedly being drunk at a media event before UFC 264. McGregor also congratulated Cormier’s archrival, Jon Jones, on his 2017 head kick KO of DC. While Cormier lost the bout, the loss was overturned to a no-contest after Jones tested positive for a turinabol metabolite.
Daniel Cormier is close friends with Conor McGregor’s arch-rival Khabib Nurmagomedov. McGregor has been trying to chase a rematch with ‘The Eagle’, but that is unlikely to ever come to fruition. However, Conor McGregor aims to recover from his injury and compete in a fourth fight against Dustin Poirier.
Conor McGregor has promised to not only beat Poirier but also become the UFC lightweight champion again.
