Cub Swanson calls McGregor 'an arrogant prick', horrible role model in latest Twitter beef

Just put the two of them in the Octagon and let’s get this sorted.

LET’S CUT TO the chase here. Conor McGregor and Cub Swanson don’t really like each other — which is no surprise considering McGregor has called his featherweight rival an old man and compared him to Simpsons character Hans Moleman.

Their Twitter followers were treated to round 372 of the ongoing feud last night. It all started when former UFC star Kenny Florian predicted that a stadium title fight between McGregor and champion Jose Aldo would be the promotion’s biggest event in 2015.

Swanson disagreed, naturally, and that’s when things took a turn for the worse.

“Don’t get bitter Cub. Get better,” McGregor tweeted. “Conor Bless.”

Swanson replied: “Lets be real! You’re an arrogant prick and a horrible roll [sic] model.”

McGregor, who is clearly getting accustomed to his status as one of the promotion’s biggest names, drew a line under the argument.

“Be careful now,” he warned Swanson. “I might just fire your old ass.”

Expect to see Round 373 very shortly …

    If he does live Dortmund. Think Liverpool would suit him. He seems to be able to achieve alot with limited resources and young players. Could be what the pool needs. Don’t want to see Rodgers go but Klopp would be a good replacement. YNWA

    If he was to go to Liverpool and do what he has done at Dortmund, Liverpool would have a few good seasons before becoming a feeder club to teams with more money. They would end up in the relegation zone before he moved on to do the same in Spain or Italy.

    I still think arsenal would be mad to let wenger go. Much harder to win the English league than the German one. I think if arsenal do let wenger go they’ll only realise what they’ve lost afterwards.

    I don’t think Klopp is the right choice for Arsenal and maybe not Liverpool. The reason they’re doing well in the CL and horrifically in the league is because they have one gameplan and domestic opposition and copped onto it. They sit back and hit on the counter to negate Dortmund’s high energy attacks. They’re afforded more time on the ball in the CL and that means they’re doing well but Klopp hasn’t adapted at all with Dortmund, Guardiola has worked out how to adjust his plan for different opponents and completely deserves the continued domination in Germany whereas Dortmund have fallen away.

    I am not at all saying that Klopp is a bad manager, but seeing fans beg for their manager to be sacked and to have him placed as a saviour for any team in need simply isn’t correct.
