Conor McGregor’s recent headline-grabbing antics have everybody fired up.
“The Notorious” caused a stir in Brooklyn last week, going on a rampage at the Barclays Center following a media event. McGregor and a gang terrorized fighters and staff, and he broke a bus window that caused injuries to Michael Chiesa and Ray Borg, both of whom were subsequently removed from Saturday’s UFC 223 card.
That is just a partial tally of the aftermath of McGregor’s bizarre stunt, and the fighter himself is facing legal charges as well as damage to his brand and reputation.
Ex-UFC fighter Tyson Griffin commented on the situation on Twitter, comparing the misbehavior of McGregor to that of superstar Jon Jones, who has had his own litany of problems outside of the Octagon. Specifically, Griffin wrote that McGregor could lose his recently announced Burger King sponsorship much like Jones did his deal with Nike after Jones was involved in a press conference brawl with rival Daniel Cormier back in 2014 (Jones claimed that the brawl was unrelated to his parting ways with Nike).

Well there goes @TheNotoriousMMA lossing his @BurgerKing deal faster than @JonnyBones lost his @Nike deal!! Or did he?? More

Jones, who is currently ineligible to compete as he deals with his second USADA violation, got his Twitter fingers going to put together a heated response for Griffin.

@TysonGriffin my dream was to be sponsored by Nike as a high school wrestler, became an adult and made it happen. Even had my own sneaker which sold out within a day.
Jon Bones Jones✔@JonnyBones
@TysonGriffin What ever happened with your Nike deal, I don’t remember. I’ll wait…
Jon Bones Jones✔@JonnyBones
@TysonGriffin You can tell by the tone of your tweet that you’re happy Connor may be losing his deal. Disguise yourself as an MMA coach or a MMA personality, I just see a bitter bitch who’s the size of my dick

The last part was more for me, just proud of myself. Thought it flowed nicely
Following that squabble, the conflict appeared to dissipate until Griffin decided to poke the bear again on Tuesday. He mentioned McGregor and Jones again before posting a two-year-old text conversation between himself and Jones.

I may have took a jab @TheNotoriousMMA during his rampage but just like that man tried to steal the spotlight @JonnyBones is trying to make this all about him and apparently it’s too soon to joke about his nike deal.

2 years ago I kept this private because I almost felt bad for @JonnyBones but now I’ll just let you all judge for yourselves.
Tyson Griffin✔@TysonGriffin
Thanks for the hate aka love @JonnyBones we are all one my brother. Just keep trying to be a better role model and focus on being a “Great Champion” No one is perfect but winning and money isn’t everything. You have taught me that
Jones was not impressed by Griffin’s “cyber attack”.
Jon Bones Jones✔@JonnyBones
@TysonGriffin It’s hilarious that you reposted our private messages, I meant every word I said. At first I thought your hatred was DC related but now I’m starting to think you are just an envious little bastard.
Jon Bones Jones✔@JonnyBones
@TysonGriffin At the end of the day, I’m not going to lie, it’s pretty fun shitting on you. Just because I’m the bigger man doesn’t mean I have to sit back be quiet and listen to your cyber attack.
Jon Bones Jones✔@JonnyBones
@TysonGriffin hope this has gained you a few more followers. I’m sure you were reply to my last message. Be quiet for a while and come out with more hatred in a few more months. It’s your pattern. You’re cute, my little pet
Jon Bones Jones✔@JonnyBones
@TysonGriffin last thing, don’t call me brother. My brothers are over 6 feet and champions… Hitting me with that soft shit after getting verbally body bagged. Stop throwing tomatoes from the sidelines bro, you’re whack
