Conor McGregor is once again making waves in the world of combat sports. The Irish MMA fighter, known for his penchant for trash talk, has reignited a social media feud, this time with reigning Super Middleweight champion, Saul Alvarez.
McGregor’s history of engaging in verbal sparring with boxers is well-documented, with his most notable foray being his boxing match against Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather. Now, he finds himself in a war of words with “Canelo” Alvarez.
This latest feud between McGregor and Alvarez was sparked when McGregor commented on footage of Alvarez’s 2013 bout with Mayweather. McGregor cheekily suggested that he landed more punches on Mayweather than Alvarez did, a remark that didn’t sit well with the Mexican boxing great.
McGregor’s proclivity for picking fights online extends beyond his recent clash with Alvarez. He previously attempted to troll YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, though he was swiftly shut down by Paul. McGregor also engaged in a war of words with Jorge Masvidal, only to face a brutal shutdown by Kamaru Usman on that occasion.
Known for his ability to grab headlines and make events about himself, McGregor recently made waves at the O2 Arena in London. His presence garnered attention even when he wasn’t the main attraction, a testament to his magnetic persona.
In another incident that made headlines, McGregor attended Game 4 of the NBA finals in Miami, where he grabbed the spotlight by stepping onto the court during a timeout and humorously “knocking out” the Miami Heat’s mascot.
Conor McGregor’s knack for stirring the pot and keeping the spotlight firmly on himself continues to make him a polarizing and unforgettable figure in the world of sports and entertainment.
