However, it didn’t took much long for featherweight king Max ‘Blessed’ Holloway to mock McGregor as he replied,”You went from being king of Ireland to king on ‘chicken’?Looking forward to two strips meal coming April 7.PS Shout out to the real fighting Irish.The one’s who value what’s in heart before what’s on waist.Hawaii respects you and welcomes you with open heart.”(via Twitter):
You went from King of Ireland to King of "chicken"? Looking forward to the two strips meal coming April 7.
PS Shout out to the real fighting Irish. The ones who value whats in heart before whats on waist. Hawaii respects you and welcomes you with open arms https://t.co/kqyiAw3PDY— Max Holloway (@BlessedMMA) March 5, 2018
Holloway pun intendedly said ‘two strips meal’ referring to the fact that McGregor would be ‘stripped’ from the UFC Lightweight Championship on April 7 at UFC 223 where Khabib Nurmagomedov meets Interim Champion Tony Ferguson as confirmed by UFC President Dana White.
McGregor and Holloway also had a blistering twitter attack on each other after UFC 222 on March 3,2018.UFC 222 featured an exciting co-main event between former Lightweight Champion Frankie ‘The Answer’ Edgar and undefeated prospect Brian ‘T-City’ Ortega.UFC 222 was originally scheduled to be Holloway’s second title defense against Frankie Edgar.However Holloway pulled out from the card due to an injury and was replaced by Ortega.Edgar could have just waited for Holloway to recover but instead decided to fight Ortega. His decision backfired and Ortega became the first fighter ever to finish Edgar in his 13 year career.
Holloway reached out to Edgar with a classy tweet.(via Twitter):
You had nothing to gain from taking that fight @FrankieEdgar. But you took it you defended what you already earned. There’s no belt for sacrificing everything but true fans and Jersey knows no belt can outshine what you bring to the sport. Chin up bratha

McGregor replied referring to Holloway pulling out of the fight.(via Twitter):
Kid, you bounced. Leave it.

Holloway then replied,(via Twitter):
Oh we talking bout bouncing now?Don’t like my tweet? Your coach did. Go ask him why. Maybe you'll find what you lost. https://t.co/ekoxh7bUaw
