Conor McGregor slated for punching technique and branded ‘king of cringe’ as clip of UFC star throwing ‘bombs’ backfires
CONOR MCGREGOR shared a video of himself hitting pads in the gym but not everyone was impressed with the Irishman’s style and power.
Former UFC flyweight champion Henry Cejudo criticised McGregor for overturning his hips, sparking a slanging match on Twitter.
McGregor was not happy with the criticism and responded with a gibberish-filled threat against Cejudo.
But the 35-year-old dismissed McGregor’s words, causing even more anger for The Notorious.
Cejudo initially tweeted: “MMA is different than boxing if you over turn your hips it leads to easy takedowns. It’s hard to recover your position if you over throw your hips.
“You essentially add more time to whatever punch you throw next. You really need to understand set up punches. – Sincerely the goat.”

“I’ve nasty weapons here. I’d do whole fight here if had to. Where was he going he was top guard can you explain please master splinter second cousin?
“Where was he going? I’d scoot in to butcher if had two on God. B’s in my account.”
Cejudo simply replied: “Ok King of cringe.

“Whatever the cringe this means. I know that you know, that I know my s**t. This is free advice I’m giving you lad. Ps give the snowman a break.”
“That’s it? Answer the f*****g question you little p**s ant s**t stain,” responded McGregor.
“I’m live in this game like a Grenade no pin. Cannes with two yachts and a steel bar in my leg. Raring to go. Chopard. Chop you up.”
McGregor later deleted his tweets but he has been relentless on social media recently, teasing when his next fight could be.
He tweeted: “I feel like I could do you’s all in. Handy. Any list. I hit you, I change you.
“The Mac Daddy back in action. Sitting on a billion, plotting a killing.”
“The date of my return is… Tick, tock, my left hand is a Glock.”
McGregor could face Michael Chandler after the UFC lightweight claimed to be the frontrunner to fight the Irishman next.
