Conor McGregor posts poop emoji as he continues firing shots at Bellator champion Johnny Eblen

Conor McGregor is continuing his feud with Bellator middleweight champion Johnny Eblen. Not the kind to mince his words or shy away from offending anyone, 'The Notorious' was highly critical of Eblen's title defense over Fabian Edwards last weekend in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

McGregor was so disappointed that he used human excrement as a metaphor for how bad the fight was in his eyes. In a now-deleted post on X, the Irishman shared a screenshot from the fight, using an emoji as the caption.

Not to be out-gunned in trash-talking Eblen replied, saying:

"Bro watching your downfall has been poo. You give me second hand embarrassment. You suck the life out of any inspiration you’ve sprung. Money and fame is not what it’s cut out to be eh?"

The beef may have started when Johnny Eblen posted a scathing tweet about Conor McGregor after he expressed disappointment at Eblen's win last weekend. 'Johnny Pressure' even used a Greek metaphor to describe the former UFC champ's fall from grace.

Eblen tweeted:

"Conor went from 'The face of the fight game' to 'The disgrace of the fight game'. He embodies literally everything I don’t want to be as a man or as a human. What an embarrassment. It’s giving Icarus."

Dan Hooker speaks more on potential fight against Conor McGregor

From an online beef with Johnny Eblen to a cordial agreement to fight with Dan Hooker, Conor McGregor is a spectrum when it comes to his interactions with fellow fighters.

At the BKFC event in Spain, McGregor said in an interview that he'll be fighting in December in Saudi Arabia. His opponent, UFC lightweight actionman Dan 'The Hangman' Hooker.

The Kiwi fighter went on record to confirm that he and McGregor verbally agreed on the fight during a friendly but brief conversation in the BKFC ring. Speaking further on the matter, Hooker recently appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show, saying:

"It's a fight that makes a lot of sense for him and makes a lot of sense for me and we're, obviously, both keen on the fight. I don't know what's going on with him behind the scenes. I don't know what's going on with him and the UFC and their relationship so that's all I can say. Since that rumor started going around, people are like, 'don't wait, don't be another Michael Chandler'. That's not the plan. I'm fighting early next year."
