Conor McGregor brutally trolled over Mayweather performance after KSI criticism

Conor McGregor received a brutal response from Logan Paul and Deji after he labelled the latter's brother KSI a "friendly little nerd" ahead of his bout with Dillon Danis.

YouTube star KSI has been central to the growing YouTube phenomenon in the sport, hosting his own events via his company Misfits Boxing. Earlier this year, the star won two fights on the same night, and has now agreed a clash with the Bellator MMA fighter on January 14 at the OVO Arena.

Danis is a former training partner of McGregor's but KSI is confident of putting him away on his boxing debut, goading 'The Notorious' on Twitter with: "I’m sorry but I’m about do some serious damage to your boy."

McGregor's reply was savage though, writing: "Brother you’re a friendly little nerd I don’t care. He should be back doing MMA if he is doing this little nothing burger match with you. I couldn’t care less about this genre of boxing, I am sorry. Have a good one."

But KSI is the business and training partner of Paul, who himself has made waves in 2022, more so in WWE after taking on Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel last month. He's previously boxed an exhibition with Floyd Mayweather though, and got involved in the spat by referencing the Dubliner's own stoppage loss to the 'Money Man' back in August 2017.

“Genre of boxing??" he fired back at McGregor. "Boxing is boxing. I’m a YouTuber and I still did more damage to Floyd than you."

Deji meanwhile added: "I gave Floyd Mayweather a black eye, did you?"

Do Logan Paul and Deji have a point about Conor McGregor? Have your thoughts heard in the comments section.

Not all of Paul's followers seemed to agree with that take though, despite him surviving eight exhibition rounds with Mayweather last year. @simplytex replied: "No you didn’t lmao. You went against a man twice your age, who’s 40lbs less than you. Yeah, this is a genre of boxing, be real."

@davey_fm wrote: "Come on Logan there's professional boxing and there's what you, KSI and co do. I don't mean any disrespect and it's phenomenal the number's you get and the shows that have been. I'd put McGregor in the same category/genre as you lot though when it comes to boxing personally.

When McGregor himself returns to the octagon remains to be seen, having been out of action since breaking his leg in his defeat to Dustin Poirier last August. Mayweather has previously claimed that an agreement was in place for a rematch between the pair, a notion dismissed by the Irishman.
