Conor McGregor hasn’t forgotten about 50 Cent’s taunts on social media. In a promotional video for Proper Twelve Irish Whiskey, the former UFC champion named 50 as the celebrity he’d most like to fight.
“I’d have to probably say 50 Cent, I’d like to fight him,” McGregor said. “Throughout the course of the [Floyd] Mayweather build-up I used him as a tool, a promotional tool on the free also. I knew he was linked to Floyd, so I tied him into the situation and he responded big time. And we capitalized on that audience, so I was very happy with that and thankful. But then after that, he began a little tirade against me on social media, particularly Instagram where he’d make these memes about me constantly.”
He continued, “Every time I’d go onto the internet I’d see 50 Cent has posted up some new stupid meme and I wrote on one of the memes, ‘Old man on the internet making memes’ and then he blocked me. So, he had to block me. And I still see sometimes, I still get tagged in other people saying he’s saying this and he’s saying that. So, I’d like to have a knock-off with 50, aye. So, if you’re listening 50, let’s get it going bud.”
Although many of 50’s past Instagram posts about McGregor have since been deleted, his reactions to the controversial fighter’s loss to UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov remain on Twitter. McGregor hasn’t fought since suffering that defeat at UFC 229 in October 2018, but he recently announced he’d return to the Octagon in early 2020.
50 hasn’t reacted to McGregor’s challenge as of Wednesday (October 30), but he’s previously claimed he could beat the former two-division champion in a fight.
“Right now, when he’s at 154 pounds? I’m 225 right now!” 50 said last year during a media call promoting his film Den Of Thieves. “They don’t understand this is heavyweight shit going on around here. I hit them, they see a white light. They hear a message. Slow down, boy. They think Jesus is talking to them.”
He also noted, “Outside the confinements of the sport, if you got into a [street] fight, it’s a different thing.”
50 said he’s 225 lbs. I’m 185 lbs. I’d fight 50. Lol
50+225lbs = dead weight on the mat. That nigga 50 str8 weak. His fight game weak asf. His bark loud tho. Plus when he get his azz beat his troll game will be weak. Knockouts to a ni@@a like that will hurt his ego big.
125 of those pounds is his head weight
Celebrity fights never fucking happen
I have no ill will toward 50 cent but come on man..50 cent, I’m 215 pounds and I personally could easily beat you in a fight just using simple wrestling and jujitsu and believe me, that aint all.. On the other hand, Conor McGregor would destroy you way more easily than I ever could. You have no idea what you are saying. Let your ego do the talking and I am sure your body will pay the price. I would love to see a Conor vs 50 fight just so I could get rich placing my bet on Conor.. The problem with all the boxers or street fighters that challenge some of these mma guys is that they always come up with rules at the last minute. Let it be a no holds barred or a real street fight as you say, and it would be over for you very quickly.
Of course its never gonna happen but I wish it would. On the other hand, if 50 cent wants to fight me for a set amount of money, I game anytime. Now dont none of you folks on here go challenging me to a fight, Im too old to be playing with yall. Best of luck to Conor on his comeback, and 50 cent if you feel like you need to prove yourself on national tv, send me some money and will talk. Maybe after you can put me in one of your albums.
You lack comprehension skills thun thun….he….know what nevermind
This is my favorite shit right here. A nigga that underestimates an opponent because he trained at the YMCA and is 215 pounds of snickers. You don’t want nobody challenging you to a fight but you feel comfortable to challenge somebody else who won’t pay you any mind. FOH. Nobody here is impressed.
Stfu and go back to watching ufc on tv you couch potato, you’re a broke loser, 215 pounds of twinkies writing a personal letter on the comment section, couldn’t get any dumber
Well if it would ever happen… I hope Connor would break Curtis jaw
Would love to see Connor twist up Curtis, he talks too much
Fiddy won’t want any of that. He’s just a troll.
50 definitely got hands….for a hood nigga. I hear him on size and all that, he was a golden glove years ago, cool. He DOES NOT want no MMA smoke with nobody, let’s not be ridiculous…
Lets see this boxing match. Id love for 50 to knock out this little Irish leprechaun.
if Connor didn’t think he would kick his ass he wouldnt even have said it. cause if 50 cents is down then it is 100% going to happen. but 50 dont want it
IDEK who going to win
Lol Conor would smack 50 into a coma. Conor is one of the best MMA fighters ever, 50 is not stupid to fight him. its just publicity
50 is the dog that barks loud but doesn’t bite in this case. He’ll just troll on Conor over this shit, hashtag his products for a bit of promotion and that’s that. Free publicity.
50 don’t want that.
50 a pussy, prob calling the cops rite now
Grown men make memes? I thought girls and kids did that
50 got a big block head.. ya dig
This is probably planned by both men to make money for their respective brands
