By Amy Kaplan
Former UFC double champion Conor McGregor hasn't had one of his late-night Twitter sprees lately but on Wednesday morning (American time) he resumed his killing spree.
And it was glorious.
Let's take a look at some of the people he targeted on social media.
Conor McGregor trolled Nate Diaz
McGregor inititally responded to former opponent Nate Diaz who simply tweeted a photo from one of their fights. He replied to the tweet and then shared a photo of his own shortly after.
"Good shot. Lead front teep," McGregor write on Diaz's post. "You can only kick with your right leg, albeit not greatly whatsoever. But a few little gicksplasher right kicks you have. It’s long been noted."
He then posted his own photo writing, "This wasn’t a guard pull attempt. It was a shut off of the conscious through sharp, blunt, trauma. A little put on your arse shot."
Conor McGregor slams 'gumbeen' Islam Makhachev for Jon Jones comments
While speaking at the UFC 294 media day, lightweight champion Islam Makhachev commented on heavyweight champion Jon Jones being the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter.
“This is bulls***t, brother. How Jon Jones can be number one?" he said. "He beat some guy who is not champion. (Gane) don’t have belt, and they put (Jones) number one pound-for-pound. This is bulls***t.”
McGregor shared a clip of the interview and took shots at Makhachev, who is coached by Khabib Nurmagomedov, McGregor's longtime foe.
"This guy is a gumbeen. This is what happens when cousins have sex and have a child together. This is the result," he wrote.
Makhachev will try to defend the lightweight title, one McGregor previously had, in the main event at UFC 294.
