Conor McGregor lashes out at Paul McGrath for beating old farmer as he continues feud over P.J. Gallagher's tweet
Conor McGregor continues his Twitter tirade against comedian P.J. Gallagher and former Irish footballer Paul McGrath.
'Mystic Mac' uploaded multiple posts criticizing McGrath for beating up a 60-year-old farmer named Noel Pepper:
"Paul McGrath [beat] one of our farmers around, aged in his mid sixties, and then stole his f**king car. Holy lantern jaysus. Stick that kettle on Paul and scald your self with it while you’re at. Don’t come at me again. And your son is a little wimp. Bottler. The Fanny family." [sic]
McGregor also showed support to the alleged victim, check out his tweets below:
Paul McGrath bet one of our farmers around, aged in his mid sixties, and then stole his fucking car. Holy lantern jaysus. Stick that kettle on Paul and scald your self with it while you’re at. Don’t come at me again. And your son is a little wimp. Bottler. The Fanny family.
Noel Pepper I am with you sir, and all our great Irish farmers! I am going to get these big bullying Mcgraths in your name, good sir! https://t.co/W7sMCIa77M
Conor McGregor's verbal attacks towards McGrath started when the footballer came to P.J. Gallagher's support amidst an ongoing feud between the comedian and 'The Notorious'.
The former UFC multi-division champion then challenged McGrath and Gallagher to a 2-on-1 charity boxing match to settle the dispute.
I challenge Pj and Paul McGrath to 2 vs 1 boxing match in aid of mental health and anti bullying organizations.
The footballer's son Mitchell McGrath then joined the argument, asking 'Mystic Mac' to fight him instead of his aged father.
@TheNotoriousMMA Il fight in my dads place you calling out old men your a joke lad get a grip of yourself embarrassing yourself
In response, McGregor posted a screenshot of an article detailing the altercation between McGrath and Pepper.
Is this not your da? Attacking a 60 year old man. And no problem, where are you now I’ll meet you today. twitter.com/mcgrathmitch/s… https://t.co/lm7r6u9nYL
McGregor then tweeted that there was no point arguing with the McGrath family, and going forward, he intended to behave in a positive and supportive manner:
"I’ve decided from now to engage only with positivity and support on this platform. There is no point to engage in any sort of response to little wimpy cryba’s and old man farmer beater alcos and his little offspring bottler son. F**k the lot of them. Back to the gaf it’s a park."

What is the feud between Conor McGregor and P.J. Gallagher?
The quarrel between Conor McGregor and P.J. Gallagher started when Laura Sanko made a list of her top five British fighters and accidentally put McGregor, who hails from Ireland, on it.
Gallagher commented on the list, saying that England could have the MMA fighter. This irked McGregor, who uploaded a now-deleted, profanity-laden rant against the comedian, taking jibes at his personal life and mental health.
On the left, an Irishman bravely opening up about his struggles with mental illness.
On the right, a sad excuse for a man making fun of him for his struggles.
Thank you for your bravery @pjgallagher Your vulnerability and honesty will help many.
You are the real champ. ❤️ https://t.co/Pg68i1FWUp
A Twitter user then pointed out that it was the comedian who fired the first shot, and McGregor's response should not come as a surprise.
@colin_broderick @AnybodyButBerti @pjgallagher Not defending @TheNotoriousMMA comments, but it seems to have been lost that @pjgallagher had a go at McGregor first, basically saying he was rejected by the Irish nation, questiong his nationality /allegiances etc.
Surprised that there was a response ?
'The Notorious' acknowledged the tweet and went on to call the comedian "a weasel."
One of the heaviest insults you can give an Irish man. He is a weasel. Thank you Alex for highlighting. twitter.com/dublintarget/s…
One individual suggested that the two settle their dispute with a handshake, but McGregor declined the offer.
Why should I? He attempted to publicly rally people against me with a disgraceful insult and out of nowhere too, all while being an advocate for mental health in the press. It is the height of hypocrisy. I don’t know him. Never spoke on him once in my life. twitter.com/cmh8412/status…
