LET’S CUT TO the chase here. Conor McGregor and Cub Swanson don’t really like each other — which is no surprise considering McGregor has called his featherweight rival an old man and compared him to Simpsons character Hans Moleman.
Their Twitter followers were treated to round 372 of the ongoing feud last night. It all started when former UFC star Kenny Florian predicted that a stadium title fight between McGregor and champion Jose Aldo would be the promotion’s biggest event in 2015.
Swanson disagreed, naturally, and that’s when things took a turn for the worse.
“Don’t get bitter Cub. Get better,” McGregor tweeted. “Conor Bless.”
Swanson replied: “Lets be real! You’re an arrogant prick and a horrible roll [sic] model.”
McGregor, who is clearly getting accustomed to his status as one of the promotion’s biggest names, drew a line under the argument.
“Be careful now,” he warned Swanson. “I might just fire your old ass.”
Expect to see Round 373 very shortly …
