The name Conor McGregor has become synonymous with MMA and the UFC. Through years of hard work, McGregor has achieved a lot of accolades in the octagon. Known for the power of his left hand, ‘Mystic Mac’ is also popular for his outspoken nature. In fact, McGregor once threatened to KO Dwayne Johnson, Mike Tyson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and a few others.

The saga started when McGregor, before his fight against Chad Mendes, wrote a post on Twitter. In the post, ‘The Notorious’ threatened to Knockout all the above-mentioned celebrities in the famous video game, Game of War.

‘Mystic Mac’ tweeted, “I’ll KO em all in @GameOfWar http://smarturl.it/ConorTW7 https://youtu.be/4DjnRbmG4kg @Schwarzenegger @TheRock @steveaustinBSR @MikeTyson@ConanOBrien”

Soon after his tweet, McGregor received a reply from The Rock. Johnson in his post said McGregor wasn’t ready, and also wished luck to ‘Mystic Mac.’ Johnson wrote, “@TheNotoriousMMA @gameofwar You ain’t ready for this Fire Age beat down. Get after it tonight brotha. Pullin’ for ya champ.” 

While the two indulged in banter, Dwayne Johnson has always been appreciative of Conor McGregor. He once praised The Notorious for his business acumen.
