UFC star Conor McGregor recently appeared on SI Now and during the interview McGregor was asked about fellow Irishman Sheamus. McGregor responded by saying he could “whoop Sheamus’ ass” in a fight, which prompted a Twitter war between the two athletes.
You can check out the Twitter exchange below:
Sheamus: “ok [MENTION=5907]Sin[/MENTION]owLIVE @ufc [MENTION=69904]The[/MENTION]NotoriousMMA, Conor wins. I don’t hit featherweights or shoeshine boys. Mouth off to [MENTION=10743]BrockL[/MENTION]esnar fella, I’m injured… Had bigger dumps after a salad [MENTION=69904]The[/MENTION]NotoriousMMA lad. U can hold [MENTION=10743]BrockL[/MENTION]esnar‘s [MENTION=9423]wwe[/MENTION] title while the big boys duke-it-out. Win @ufctitle 1st”
McGregor: [MENTION=9423]wwe[/MENTION]Sheamus, [MENTION=10743]BrockL[/MENTION]esnar fought PURE, phoney. Me and Brock Vs You and any shmuck of your choice. #CelticPhoney #TagTeam@JRsBBQ [MENTION=9423]wwe[/MENTION] @UFC“
Sheamus: “Phoney? [MENTION=69904]The[/MENTION]NotoriousMMA [MENTION=10743]BrockL[/MENTION]esnar [MENTION=9423]wwe[/MENTION] @ufchaha that last lad you ‘knocked-out’ went down on the breeze of a punch… #NeverConnected”
McGregor: “Careful now scaldy, you will wake up with no teeth and your nose on my mantle. #CelticPhoney #NeverFought… ‘Never connected’ sounds more like your game. You wear ball stranglers and slap mens asses for a living.”
Sheamus: “Whereas you talk for a living son & we all know who’s ass@TheNotoriousMMA is kissing nightly. #LittleManBigChip”
McGregor: [MENTION=9423]wwe[/MENTION]Sheamus I’ll whoop you at your own game, then we can toast a whiskey and talk about true fighting. Always remember #UFCAsRealAsItGets”
Sheamus: “Whiskey in Dublin this Christmas [MENTION=69904]The[/MENTION]NotoriousMMA. Shirts on the deck, back-to-back, and we’ll fight everyone. #TraditionalIrishChristmas
