Fans gave Conor McGregor grief after the former UFC double-champion claimed MMA was "easy work" for him.

McGregor recently took to social media to post a cryptic message. On Twitter, 'The Notorious' wrote:

"Mma, I’ll never forget you! Easy work."

Check out Conor McGregor's tweet below:

Mma, I’ll never forget you! Easy work.

Many interpreted McGregor's tweet as some sort of farewell to the sport that brought him to prominence. They believe the Dublin native could be leaving the UFC for Hollywood, after it was reported that McGregor will make his acting debut in the remake of the 1989 action classic Road House.

However, there were those who didn't appreciate the last part of McGregor's message. Several MMA fans on Twitter pointed out that the Irishman was outright delusional.

They pointed out that fighting wouldn't have been easy for McGregor as he's coming off back-to-back losses in his last two outings. Not to mention that his last victory came two years ago.

@TheNotoriousMMA Not sure about it being that easy for you in recent years - you’ve only won one out of your four fights in the octagon since October 2018…

@TheNotoriousMMA "Easy work" is big talk for somebody who hasnt won a fight since obama could say "i am the president of the united states" outside of Old-Man Cerrone.

@TheNotoriousMMA Who cares, Never defended a belt and wouldn't beat the top 6 in the LW division or even Volka at FW, irrelavent in MMA

@TheNotoriousMMA 3-4 in 6 years 😂😂 https://t.co/tfZmvh10kj

@TheNotoriousMMA @DiceMma12 Love you Bro , but how about winning a fight for once ?

@TheNotoriousMMA Easy work 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you lost more than you won.

One Twitter user even compared him to Ronda Rousey and said he was never the same fighter ever since he lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov. Meanwhile, another commenter asked if anyone else is bored with McGregor's antics now.

@TheNotoriousMMA Damn Khabib made you change careers. So sad to see. That mauling from Khabib made you realise you aren’t built for MMA so you decided to go into Hollywood instead and become an actor. You are the male version of Ronda Rousey. Whooped into changing careers.

@deuceswildsvida @TheNotoriousMMA He didn’t accomplish defending a belt lol

@TheNotoriousMMA Anyone else bored of Conor now? If you say you're coming back- get back. If you're not- don't.
Jon Jones all over again. The LW division is stacked with talent and I think Conor knows it. Nothing to prove perhaps? But it's tiresome all these silly games

There are also those genuinely hoping McGregor isn't really leaving the sport. They expressed their support for the UFC megastar.

@IrishLyden @TheNotoriousMMA Hope he isn’t retiring! I’d say he’ll be back! NOTORIOUS. EIRE. 🇮🇪 twitter.com/thenotoriousmm…

@TheNotoriousMMA Lmao @ all you so pressed over the face of the fight game. You’re in denial if you think otherwise. This man literally changed the game for MMA. Crazy that you’re hating on him while he’s laughing away in his Yacht.

@TheNotoriousMMA The best to ever do it! Excluding Nobody! Supposed to be number 1 on everybody list! Let’s see what happens when he no longer exists……. Thank You Sir For All The Memories & all the inspiration! I’m Team Mac through & through.Whether it’s MMA, Boxing or Hollywood, got ur back!

@TheNotoriousMMA Please don’t say you’re retiring
