McGregor went on a tweeting spree after seeing the former interim 155lb champion knocked out by Michael Chandler at UFC 274.

Ferguson and McGregor have had several back-and-forths on social media over the years.

Ferguson was also angered by McGregor reportedly breaking his promise not to pursue the lightweight crown upon his signing for Paradigm, who he joined when he was competing as a featherweight.
