Conor McGregor went scorched earth on Daniel Cormier tonight, this after ‘DC’ told the Irishman to “worry about the dudes” who keep beating his ass.<\/p>\n

The beef between McGregor and Cormier started after ‘Notorious’ appeared to mock the death of Khabib Nurmagomedov’s father on Twitter.<\/p>\n

\u201cCovid is good and father is evil?\u201d\u00a0<\/em>– Conor McGregor shared and later deleted on social media.<\/p>\n

One of the individuals who saw McGregor\u2019s controversial post was Khabib\u2019s longtime friend and training partner Daniel Cormier. \u2018DC\u2019 proceeded to condemn<\/a> \u2018Notorious\u2019 for his actions, dubbing his recent remarks as a \u201ccry for help\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

That notion obviously did not sit well with Conor McGregor who proceeded to lash out at ‘DC’ with a number of tweets<\/a> which were later deleted (see those here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\"Conor<\/p>\n

Despite the fact that Conor eventually deleted the aforementioned social media posts, Daniel Cormier was not willing to let him off the hook. The former UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion responded to the Irish star with the remarks this evening.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s much easier for me, because I work at ESPN,\u201d<\/em> Daniel Cormier said in response to Conor McGregor.\u00a0\u201cWe have a department that does that, that can get every one of the kicks that Conor did get checked.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSo McGregor, listen to me bud. Stop worrying about me. Don\u2019t worry about Daniel Cormier. Don\u2019t worry about the things that I\u2019m saying,” Cormier continued. “Don\u2019t worry about how I\u2019m dressing and how I\u2019m looking. Don\u2019t do that. Worry about the dudes that keep beating your ass every time you go into the Octagon. I\u2019m not the guy you\u2019ve got to worry about fighting. I\u2019m done. I\u2019m retired. I\u2019m living my best life. You need to worry about trying to beat the guys that you fight against. Get off the internet. I don\u2019t hate this dude, but McGregor, fall back.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

As expected, it did not take long for Cormier’s comments to draw a response from Conor McGregor. ‘Notorious’ proceeded to go scorched earth on the former two-division UFC champ with the following accusations.<\/p>\n

Daniel Cormier is a fat mess. Getting into worse condition by the day. God bless him. Showing up drunk at media events the very day before he was in the booth calling my fight.
Drunk at a media event working? The day before being a commentator on the biggest fight in history?<\/p>\n
