But after the two MMA fighters walked on separate paths, many speculated them to be no longer close. So, McGregor cleared the doubt as he tweeted that he’s “still rockin’ with Dillon.” Soon it came to the attention of KSI, who has been looking for an opportunity to take a dig at his opponent in the next match.
Olatunji wrote, “I’m sorry but I’m about to do some serious damage to your boy.” The 29-year-old YouTuber might have not expected to receive a reply from the UFC legend McGregor on his upcoming fight. McGregor claimed not to care much about this fight between KSI and Danish.
The 34-year-old suggested his former training partner’s focus on MMA instead of participating in these commercial matches. The former UFC fighter tweeted, “Brother you’re a friendly little nerd I don’t care. He should be back doing MMA if he is doing this little nothing burger match with you. I couldn’t care less about this genre of boxing, I am sorry. Have a good one.“
How did Twitter react to McGregor’s tweet?
The fans didn’t support McGregor’s tweet and instead wrote how KSI has already established himself as a good action sports player. One fan also claimed this kind of commercial boxing started because of the former Irish professional. Let’s look at some of the fun reactions from the fans.
Funny thing is, I think you’re the reason this genre of boxing exists.

Couldn’t care less about boxing? Can I refresh your memory of that certain fight with Mayweather? You seemed to care then.

You are in that gimmick genre of boxing since you fought Floyd Mayweather on no earned or deserved merit, he toyed with you and never got out of first gear
