McGregor, who is known for his trash talk, took to Twitter to make fun of contenders Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje following their losses at UFC 274.

He posted a meme of Ferguson’s brutal knockout loss related to the famous ‘McNuggets’ meme. The former UFC champion also posted a tweet targeting Gaethje, in which he referred to ‘The Highlight‘ as a “Grade A jacka**.”

Poirier wasted no time in trolling the Irishman. He replied to Conor McGregor’s meme about Tony Ferguson with a picture of McGregor knocked out at UFC 257. ‘The Diamond’ also responded to McGregor’s tweet about Gaethje with, “Whipped tha both ya’s.” Here, he refers to the fact that he has beaten both ‘The Notorious‘ and ‘The Highlight’.
