Flashback Friday: Conor McGregor reads mean tweets

Published Dec. 4, 2015 5:56 p.m. ET

Conor McGregor is used to dishing out trash talk, as well as punishment inside the Octagon. But he got an earful, rather eyeful, from angry fight fans sending out mean messages about him on Twitter.

Back in April, BT Sport sat the UFC 194 headliner down with a notebook to read off some choice digital venom. One fan said that the only difference between McGregor and Chael Sonnen is that Conor actually believes the trash he talks.

In the end, the fighter couldn't disagree with that. "Actually not that far off. I do believe what I say. It's that simple," he conceded.

In the end, McGregor laughed through most of the tweets and gave new meaning to the idea that he's impervious.

"Say what you will about me, but I'm bulletproof," he claimed, once more.

"To be in this game, you must be bulletproof."

The Irishman also wasn't above dishing out some insults at those who threw some at him. "Fat virgins, every one of them," he said, while looking at a profile photo from one user, and their friends.

"I will wipe my tears with my money."
