LOL this is a great tweet lol “@TheNotoriousMMA: I bumped into @josealdojunior tonight. He didnt want any trouble. http://t.co/TXHPt6CWBn ” 
Lol nice
ranier wolfcastle -I like Conor but this is idiotic and shows a lack of respect.
Calling it...he'll get humbled pretty soon
Hahaha awesome! 
Looking sharp as always. Big fan of both guys, let's hope McGregor can remain focused when he gets back into the game.
Tee hee
Unsure how I feel
bazza76 - Cole Miller will be pissed when he sees this :DIt is the equivalent of seeing Andrew Luck with the Lombardi or a soccer player with the World Cup. It represents the pinnacle of his sport and should not be tarnished in this way IMO
PS. What is the big deal? Its only a picture.
nice flood water pants hes got on there
Oh my God, an up and coming fighter made a non-controversial tweet that people are putting too much substance in-
I HATE him soooooooooooooooooo much.
Powwwww
if it was jones...
Stea1th -This.
everyone thought it was funny what sonnen did it...what's the big deal.
jeez.
MRXC - Wrong, both Chael and Conor each have 2 legs to stand on.
Wrong. Chael Sonnen is 36, Conor is 25. You cannot possibly expect a 25yr old to have the same accomplishments and experience. Chael Sonnen had his 2nd pro mma fight at the age of 25. By the age of 25, Conor Mcgregor has won 2 belts, at two different weight classes, at the same time. Conor is also 2-0 in the UFC. Chael Sonnen went 1-1 his first 2 UFC fights, at the age of 29. (Chael also was cut after his 3rd UFC fight, a loss, bringing him to 1-2 in the UFC.
People who love Connor for his 'I don't give a fuck' attitude will never see it how the people who don't like his attitude will. Vice versa could be said as well. He is just playing to the crowd. This is your opinion. It is my opinion that Conor is not putting on an act, is naturally the way he comes off. Very confident in himself.

Please don't take my corrections in a negative way.
I am sure there are many people who have never seen Conor's fights and either heard an interview and jumped on his nuts, or heard about the hype and jumped on his nuts. I however, watched footage of him before he ever fought in the UFC, and it was what I saw in terms of his fighting that made me say to myself-"wow, this guy is good, really good".
Watch a couple of his fights on youtube and judge his fighting skills for yourself.
Douchey but expected from McGregor. Hope he enjoyed it because its the only way he gets the belt.
Conor McGregor has the potential to be one of the very best strikers in the UFC. He mixes "unorthodox" techniques like wheel kicks and tornado kicks with technical boxing. Not just technical punching but actual technical boxing. His stance, footwork, and posture are excellent, he chooses his angles well, picks up on opponent's weaknesses quickly, and is accurate.
The opening exchange demonstrates his solid footwork, posture, and strike placement. Marcus keeps wading in headfirst with strikes, while Conor stands upright and patiently times his shots. He may have already known Marcus was prone to dropping his head down but if not he realized it immediately and throughout the fight he punished him with either chopping left hands or upward strikes as he came in low.
This gif also shows Conor's superior footwork. He faces Marcus's centerline and as soon as his feet aren't oriented this way he resets back to the center as Marcus's feet are sort of all over the place. After the initial exchange, Marcus approaches Conor off to the side while Conor is still facing him, and Conor throws an upward strike, a knee, that glances off Marcus's head and if Marcus had ducked down slightly more as he tends to, the fight would have been over extremely fast.
^^As Conor enters striking range, Marcus predictably drops down slightly to strike or defend and Conor^^ strikes upward down the middle with a front kick.
Brimage runs forward with a punch and is countered with a perfectly timed short elbow. It took him less than a minute to find Marcus's range and be able to stay close enough after being attacked to counter him.
Marcus wades in with a hook and McGregor stays just outside range and counters with a short left hand.
He uses angles excellently. He will attack forward, upward, downward, or to the side as appropriate. He places his punches purposefully, in the moment, he clearly does not fire pre-made combos out randomly.
And the finish. He is practically clowning Brimage with the fact that he can uppercut him almost at will due to his predictable body and head movement. He can't seem to help himself but lead head first, head down towards Conor when he wants to punch him. Conor picks his punches well and drops Brimage and pounds him out.
Aldo takes this clowns lunch, eats it in front of him, then makes him throw away the trash.
