Conor McGregor’s Twitter fingers are running rampant again. This time, the target is Daniel Cormier.
The Irishman, 33, has been on a Twitter rampage since losing to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, and no one is safe. First, McGregor went after by targeting his late father🥀, who died of complications stemming from COVID-19 – which did not sitꦇ well with Cormier.
The 42-year-old former MMA star and current commentator believed McGregor “crossed the line” with his diss, which made McGregor focus his attention on Cormier.
“Daniel Cormier is a fat mess. Getting into worse condition by the day. God bless him. Showing up drunk at media events the very day before he was in the booth calling my fight. Drunk at a media event working? The day before being a commentator on the biggest fight in history?” McGregor said in a deleted tweet.
McGregor is referring to Cormier’s media appearance following the UFC 264 weigh-ins. The former MMA fighter was drinking and shotgunning beers with Laura Sanko&nbsꦓp;as he was supposed to. However, McGregor did🃏 not know that and kept going off on Cormier.
“It is a sackable offense for a commentator to be drunk at press work the day before commentating the big fight. Dreadful! Get it together. Belching in the mic at a press event and an all wtf. The day before commenting the big fight? Is this guy serious? Disgraceful.
“@dc_mma Your back situations just mental too. Your weight and way of life is abysmal. And now drunk at work the day before you commentate a McGregor event? Pitiful. Congrats Jon on his head kick KO anniversary over you. Good always defeats evil? Wasn’t sure you were evil. Fakes,” McGregor wrote in a series of deleted tweets.
Sanko, Cormier’s co-host at the event, rushed to his defense. She revealed that he was not in fact drunk, and he did his job as he was supposed to.
“I can assure everyone he wasn’t actually drunk. DC is a funny guy and he was having fun. He’s twice my size, we drank the same amount just as fast (well, almost lol) and I was fine. He was joking around. He’s a true professional on all levels” Sanko .
Cormier ended the feud by letting McGregor know that he should not worry about him and that he should start worrying about himself. McGregor is coming off a leg surgery following his loss to Poirier and has lost three of his🐻 last four fights. Mc✱Gregor currently holds a 22-6-0 record.
“Don’t worry about Daniel Cormier, don’t worry about the things that I’m saying. Don’t worry about how I’m dressing and how I’m looking. Don’t do that. Worry about the dudes that keep beating your ass every time you go into the octagon.” Cormier said on his ESPN show “DC &RC.”
