"...let’s get it going bud.”

Det är många som fallit offer för trollning av 50 Cent och snabbt hamnat i underläge. Men Conor McGregor är inte en av dom. Uppenbarligen har han inte glömt rapparens tidigare pikar på sociala medier och i en pr-video för Proper Twelve Irish Wiskey pekar nu den forne UFC-mästaren ut Fifty som den kändis han helst skulle slåss mot.

“I’d have to probably say 50 Cent, I’d like to fight him. 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.”

Och han slutade inte där, utan fortsatte:

“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.”

Conor McGregor har inte tagit en match sedan han förlorade mot Khabib Nurmagomedov i oktober 2018, men annonserade nyligen att han återvänder till oktogonen i början av 2020. 50 Cent har ännu inte svarat på utmaningen men har tidigare sagt att han skulle slå McGregor i en 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.”
