Machine Gun Kelly doubles down on McGregor after UFC 329 knee injury: 'F*ck this dude'

Machine Gun Kelly has refused to soften his stance on Conor McGregor following the UFC star’s brutal knee injury at UFC 329, posting a fresh Instagram tirade a day after McGregor’s comeback lasted just 69 seconds before a spinning roundhouse kick blew out his knee.

On the night of the fight, MGK was quick to mock the Irishman, referencing one of his own diss tracks: “Knees weak of old age, the real Conor can’t stand up.” The following day, he went further.

“I’m aware I did a post yesterday, and I should probably apologize for absolutely nothing, homie,” MGK said on Instagram. “F*ck this dude. That’s how beef works. We don’t like each other. Everyone’s saying ‘oh you commented on his age, he’s only one year older than you about his knees.’ We don’t age the same. My knees are awesome.”

The rapper-turned-rocker also pushed back on suggestions he would not confront McGregor in person, pointing to their well-documented run-in on the red carpet at the 2021 MTV VMAs, where security had to separate the two men. “‘Oh you wouldn’t say it to his face?’ I already did,” MGK said. “That’s why this picture exists of this little leprechaun punching up and missing me and me not flinching. Where the f*ck is the rest of the footage where we toss this little guy like a piece of dirty drawers across the red carpet?”

He saved some of his sharpest lines for McGregor’s performance inside the octagon. “Thanks for the walkout being longer than the fight. You wasted everyone’s time. It’s pissing me off.”

McGregor announced on Monday that he is planning surgery on the injured knee, though he did not specify the exact nature of the damage. The loss marked a dismal end to one of MMA’s most anticipated comebacks, with the former two-weight UFC champion having been out of action since breaking his leg at UFC 264 in July 2021.

For MGK, the McGregor feud is not his only brush with the UFC world. The musician previously had a public altercation with reigning UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland when the two crossed paths at a Power Slap event.
