UFC: Conor McGregor says ‘learn how to box’ after Tony Ferguson tells him to ‘put down the bottle’
- Ferguson laughs off McGregor’s claim he ‘betrayed’ Paradigm Sports Management, saying ‘you never represented me’
- ‘Fumbling over your feet like a buffoon, we’d be embarrassed to represent that,’ responds McGregor
Conor McGregor certainly lit the fuse on the UFC lightweight division with a series of foul-mouthed tweets aimed at its stars on Monday night.
Among the Irishman’s targets was Tony Ferguson, whom he said “is not the level perceived” after a shock fifth-round TKO loss to Justin Gaethje at UFC 249.
McGregor also claimed Ferguson “betrayed” Paradigm Sports Management, of which McGregor is a client, by leaving in April 2019 to sign with Ballangee Group.
“You’re still my b****,” Ferguson wrote. “You never represented me according to Audie [Attar, CEO of Paradigm]. If so then you worked for me, and withheld money from me. Focus on putting the bottle down kid.”
“Ballangee Group is gold standard. Must be hard watching from the sidelines. Keep it up chump-champ,” Ferguson added.
