UFC: Conor McGregor says ‘learn how to box’ after Tony Ferguson tells him to ‘put down the bottle’

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.”
