Conor McGregor responds to Joe Rogan's quip
Conor McGregor is mad at Joe Rogan again.
The UFC commentator recently said on his podcast that the Irishman finding acting "harder than MMA" was "crazy talk".
Rogan said:
"That's not true, even for him. Act in Road House or fight Khabib [Nurmagomedov] again? Shut the f**k up, that's crazy talk, it's crazy talk."
In a since-deleted tweet, McGregor responded:
"Hey @joerogan, I kidnapped Khabib's bear and put it in a tootoo and shot it in the back of the head and he still won't come back."
McGregor was taking a shot at Nurmagomedov famously wrestling a bear in Dagestan during his early days in combat sports. The comment was also a jab at Nurmagomedov retiring at his peak and refusing to ever return to the UFC or the sport.
