Conor McGregor is an absolute menace on Twitter. The 34-year-old had always been cheeky with his replies. ‘The Notorious’ back in 2013 took shots at Chicago Bulls’ Legend, Dennis Rodman for going to North Korea. He also once met the UFC legend, Georges St Pierre, over lunch. In their meeting, the Canadian fighter gave some words of advice to The Irishman, which he later acknowledged on his Twitter handle.

Conor McGregor wants to go to North Korea
Conor McGregor looked absolutely delighted to have met an Idol. Former Manchester United player, Rio Ferdinand commented “We need @TheNotoriousMMA on the bill for the uk #UFC event!!

McGregor was thankful for Georges St. Pierre’s advice over lunch
Conor McGregor packs a powerful punch. The Mystic Mac has knocked out some of the fiercest UFC fighters with his punch. Conor is an expert at sending people to sleep inside the Octagon. Another UFC legend, who knows more about the art of punching and kicking, is Georges St. Pierre. GSP is a father figure to a generation of MMA fighters. A lot of fighters watch old clips of “Rush” to improve their technique.
