"Most insecure human being on the planet" - Fans slam Conor McGregor over Irishman's insulting comments about Michael Bisping
MMA fans have reacted to a tweet from Conor McGregor that took aim at UFC Hall of Famer and former middleweight champion Michael Bisping.
McGregor, who is no stranger to making controversial posts on social media, took a jibe at the former UFC fighter's acting career. The Irishman himself is currently filming a remake of the 1989 classic 'Road House'. Bisping responded to 'Notorious', asking him to keep his bodyguards close the next time they meet, which prompted the former two-division UFC champion to reply via a now-deleted tweet:
"Bisping, you'll do f*** all, you little sprinter. I'll cave your head in. S*** fighter, s*** actor. Sirius XM head."

Michael Bisping questions why Conor McGregor criticizes others' achievements
UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping has questioned why Conor McGregor feels the need to berate others and their achievements, following their recent spat on social media.
During a recent episode of the Believe You Me podcast, Bisping responded to McGregor, who initially targeted the former middleweight champion's acting career seemingly unprovoked.
Ain’t no beef at this end. I don’t even think about him. He just came out the blue chatting shit about my acting work for some reason so we had a laugh about it on the podcast. Have a good one bro. twitter.com/takingouttrash…
'The Count' revealed that he didn't even follow the Irishman on social media and questioned what made McGregor feel the need to attack him, considering everything he's got going on in his own life:
"He's got a lot going on in his life. He's a very famous, very wealthy man. I don't even follow Conor on social media. I don't interact with him or anything like that and he's just gonna come out of the blue and do stuff like that. I don't get it. I don't get – not just Conor – [but] people that are in a very advantageous [position] in life, and just feel the need to try and berate others' achievements. Have you not have enough going on in your life?"
