Warning: Some of the language in this video is not safe for work. Conor McGregor dishes it out better than most in MMA, but he’s also proving he can take it as well. Since arriving in the UFC in early 2013, “Notorious” has become one of the most polarizing figures in combat sports. The Dublin […]

While many of the UFC stars in attendance at yesterday’s The Time Is Now press conference treated the event as one big lovefest, Irish featherweight star Conor McGregor was in no mood to play nice. Shortly after his public face-off with upcoming opponent Dennis Siver, he sent the unfortunate tweet you see above, which he deleted afterwards.
Though Siver is of German descent, he was actually born and raised in Russia, giving him a unique mix of Axis and Allied heritage. (I’m sure he’s very conflicted about his place in history.) Still, referring to a German man as a “Nazi” just because he’s German…not cool, Conor. They’re still really sensitive about that sort of thing over there.
Likely motivated by an angry phone call from the UFC brass, Conor then sent out this semi-apology: “Ich bin ein sowwy. Now about them feet…”
Props to Conor McGregor for staying on message during his forced retraction. But seriously dude — what is it with you and feet?

UFC President Dana White may have made a big promise he can’t keep when he announced Alexander Gustafsson would get the winner of Jon Jones vs. Glover Teixeira. He certainly hasn’t seemed to realize that, though, as he just announced Daniel Cormier will fight the winner of the purely hypothetical Jones/Teixeira vs. Gustafsson match. Via […]
