Chael Sonnen and Conor McGregor argue on Twitter

In a video, McGregor was seen pacing in front of his television during Max Holloway’s introduction at UFC Vegar 42. ‘The Notorious’ squared off with Holloway through his television.

Speaking about the video, Sonnen said, “Conor is on the verge of being a little rich weirdo. It’s the last thing I wanted for him, but if you mark out to your own gimmick to this extent, he’s posting things and then he’s deleting them. I mean, I’ve got to give the troll effort 100%, as a former troll myself, I get it.”

Sonnen further said, “He’s got to heal himself. There’s talks of Dustin Poirier, but he smashed him twice. In all fairness, Conor is still a big draw, but he’s really working against himself. He’s being a weirdo. Is this what he wants with his identity? A guy that walks around with his shirt off, screaming at a television set?… In all fairness, when you were 22 years old, that was one thing. But as a husband and a father, you’re a bit of a dork.”
