Conor McGregor, the UFC’s most notorious trash-talker, is at it again. This time, he has set his sights on an unexpected target: YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI. The Irishman’s latest verbal jab came during a BKFC media day event. His beef with KSI isn’t exactly new. These two have been trading online barbs for a while now. But this latest outburst was all about his musical endeavors.
KSI’s song has been quite successful, racking up millions of views. However, this doesn’t mean the general public felt it was good. The reviews for this song were mostly negative; apparently, McGregor is one of those people, too.
“Let’s go, man. I’ll fight him for that bullsh*t song he released alone. I’ll fight him for that f*cking song alone.”
The whole situation is absurd, but that’s par for the course in combat sports, and this potential matchup is a classic case of apples and oranges. McGregor is a two-division UFC champ with a professional boxing match. KSI has boxed other YouTubers.
Their online feud had been simmering for a while. It reached a boiling point when KSI was set to fight McGregor’s jiu-jitsu coach, Dillon Danis. That fight never materialized, but the bad blood remained. Fans are now willing to see how KSI would react to this.
