Conor McGregor taking shots at everyone in post-UFC 291 Twitter tirade (or is it X?)

Conor McGregor has always been a difficult nut to crack, but following UFC 291, perhaps he cracked his nut? Yes, bad pun, but after Justin Gaethje landed a head-kick KO on Dustin Gaethje to capture the BMF title, McGregor took aim.

Immediately jumping onto Twitter (or I guess it’s now X?), McGregor laid into Gaethje’s claim to being the Baddest Motherf**ker. He even went so far as to say “f**k (Michael) Chandler,” whom he is supposed to be fighting after their stint as coaches on The Ultimate Fighter Season 31.

There has been no hint of McGregor rejoining the USADA drug testing pool that he is required to do before fighting. He has made no commitment to fighting Chandler or even returning to the Octagon. His actions have all been hyperbolic empty gestures that he has yet to follow up on.

Meanwhile, McGregor has lost three of his last four bouts, including back-to-back losses to Poirier. His lone victory in the past five years was a quick finish of Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone in January 2020. His most recent UFC bout was three years ago in July 2021.

That hasn’t stopped him from riding on the Twitter train…
