Conor McGregor, UFC's star fighter, has made a shocking admission about Tony Ferguson in a tweet that was later deleted.
After his loss to Michael Chandler at UFC 27,4 he admitted that he regrets the way he pursued 'El Cucuy.
They used to share the same management team Paradigm Sports Management, but they were split after several public spats with the Irish fighter.
The former champion at two weight expressed regret in a deleted tweet that he had made after UFC 274's loss to him.
McGregor tweeted: I'm sorry that Tony treated me like that. Straight. This app isn't a good one. It doesn't encourage respect for each other. 43bn man pull that and say "sike" who really gives a damn. Nobody. You can take a dip on board the ship. They carry the toys ship.
