Conor McGregor has reignited his baffling feud with rapper Machine Gun Kelly by tweeting and quickly deleting a mocking post about the musician.
The Irishman is infamous for his 'tweet and delete' sprees where he will post an abusive message towards a rival and quickly take it down after the impact has been made. He has made jokes about many notable personalities from his former teammate Artem Lobov to YouTube star True Geordie and now, evidently, MGK.
McGregor and MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker, almost came to blows at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards in an outlandish altercation that still has yet to be explained. And McGregor has taken aim again at the hit-maker in a tweet that only lasted a few minutes.
A fan account shared a video showing Baker skateboarding, to which McGregor replied "watch out guys we got a bada** over here". He also added a series of crying laughing emojis to the message, before deleting it within minutes.
The pair's feud is still a mystery, with their altercation at the Award show back in 2021 coming seemingly out of nowhere on the red carpet. They were both attending the ceremony with their fiancees at the time; Megan Fox and Dee Devlin, when a brawl almost broke out between the duo.
McGregor was still in the early stages of recovering from a broken leg suffered against Dustin Poirier just weeks earlier when he got into it with Baker, and the reason has remained unclear for years. In February of 2022 Mirror Fighting attempted to ask McGregor what had happened, but he refused to comment.

On the night of the incident after MGK opted not to comment, he told Entertainment Tonight: “Absolutely nothing happened. I don’t know. He showed up, and I don’t know. I don’t know the guy. Nothing happened with me, I only fight real fighters, people that actually fight, you know what I mean?
"I certainly don’t fight little vanilla boy rappers. I don’t even know the guy. I don’t know anything about him, except that he’s with Megan Fox.”
The Irishman hasn't fought since their altercation took place, but is currently working towards a comeback at the end of the year. He has signed up to fight Michael Chandler after a season coaching opposite one another on The Ultimate Fighter, but the touted December 16 date has yet to be confirmed.
