As the UFC finally made its triumphant return last weekend in Jacksonville, Florida, the promotion’s quintessential superstar wasn’t far behind in making sure he got his share of the spotlight.
Conor McGregor wasted little time in inserting himself into all the fresh UFC 249 post-fight chatter as to where Dana White and company go from here, and he did it in typical McGregor fashion: a series of expletive-laden tweets.
We can’t be surprised and should have expected this from McGregor. Getting into the specifics of his tweets is unnecessary and – when you boil it down – irrelevant. All that matters is McGregor has announced his comeback and wants the limelight back.
