Conor McGregor has fired back at Anthony Smith, this after ‘Lionheart’ suggested the Irishman had gone “way too far” with his social media antics.<\/p>\n

McGregor (22-6 MMA) has engaged heated words with a number of UFC fighters as of late, in particular Daniel Cormier<\/a>, Michael Bisping<\/a> and Dustin Poirier.<\/p>\n

Due to some of the vulgar comments made by ‘Notorious’, many individuals, including Anthony Smith, believe the Irish fighter has taken things too far.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Conor McGregor it\u2019s just, it\u2019s too far, it\u2019s way too far. Take all this fighting bullsh*t out of the picture, like people get shot for a lot less than that just walking down the street, I don\u2019t know. Maybe I just grew up different. Maybe I\u2019ve grown up different and I\u2019ve seen some crazier sh*t\u2026 Like I\u2019m just so shocked that he (McGregor) has the balls to (do this).”<\/em><\/p>\n

Anthony Smith continued:<\/p>\n

“Like I don\u2019t understand why you feel so free to say things like that, like is he really that untouchable and really just feels like he\u2019s just free to say what he wants? Maybe, I guess he\u2019s got a bunch of security around him. There\u2019s some people that you can\u2019t talk like that about. It\u2019s just weird to me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Smith’s criticism clearly made it’s way past the timeline of Conor McGregor, as ‘Notorious’ proceed to unload on the former light heavyweight title challenger for his remarks.<\/p>\n

@lionheartasmith<\/a> who\u2019s getting shot for what? What the fuck are you saying you big zombie. The disrespect coming my way consistently is what is causing my response. Are you stupid? You do not see this? Fuck off and leave me alone you losers. You nobodies. I\u2019m preparing to return.<\/p>\n
