UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor – who is expected to be stripped of his title when the cage door closes on Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 223 – has been uncharacteristically active on Twitter lately, engaging with many of his UFC rivals. One of his latest targets was reigning UFC featherweight champ Max Holloway, who he defeated by decision back in 2013.

Once again, Holloway showed he’s not afraid to spar with the quick-witted Irishman on social media, promptly issuing a response that referenced McGregor’s long stretches of inactivity.
