Lightweights in the UFC have been kicking up a storm on social media, calling each other out left and right. However, Conor McGregor has managed to stand out among the rest. As he usually does.

The Irishman has sent his fans in a frenzy dropping hints about his next fight, testing Khabib Nurmagomedov, Dustin Poirier, Justin Gaethje, and more. However, The Notorious One has now gone after Tony Ferguson.

Ferguson took to Twitter to call out McGregor for being a “chump” who “worked for me” as a part of a rather bitter war of words.

The fighter was recently seen dancing while holding a drip, in what looked like a recovery room. To heal from the same injuries that he suffered while fighting Justin Gaethje. The severity of his injuries has forced a 60-day long medical suspension on him.

He hit back at McGregor’s accusations of betrayal regarding his exodus from Paradigm Sports Management. Ferguson left PSM more than a year ago, the same management that has Conor McGregor on its roster.

The Dubliner put Ferguson down for leaving “for a baseball contract” despite being represented by McGregor himself. However, El Cucuy contradicts McGregor’s claims by revealing that Audie Attar claims that “you never represented me.” Ferguson put his new management company, Ballengee Group, on a pedestal referring to them as the gold standard.

Waiting for an opening to take shots at Ferguson’s injuries, McGregor did not hold back when the opportunity came knocking on his door.

“Shut up and thank the nurses and doctors that plated back up your skull and stitched all those gashes up. It’s international nurses day! And learn how to box! Fumbling over your feet like a fucking Buffoon. We’d be embarrassed to represent that at Paradigm Sports. GPizzle” said Conor McGregor in his Tweet.
