Tweets from three fighters who praised Conor McGregor now look very awkward after they became embroiled in spats with the UFC star.

Since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier last July, McGregor has become embroiled in several Twitter feuds with past and present fighters.

The former two-weight champion has been limited to weight training and hitting pads since his injury but will return to full training next month ahead of his summer return.

In one of the biggest UFC rivalries of all time, McGregor fought undefeated lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 228 in 2018.

Their feud got ugly in the build up to the fight as McGregor was arrested for throwing a dolly through a bus window of which Nurmagomedov was on.

But it was Nurmagomedov who got the last laugh as he tapped out McGregor in a fight that will forever be overshadowed by a post-fight brawl which took place in the cage.

A tweet from Nurmagomedov four years before their fight would resurface in which he posed with McGregor after the Irishman knocked out Dustin Poirier at UFC 178.

"With Conor McGregor after his unbelievable victory in UFC 178, dangerous kid," the tweet from Nurmagomedov read.
