“I kidnapped Khabib’s bear” – Conor McGregor responds to Joe Rogan’s criticism in yet another deleted tweet

Joe Rogan recently clapped back at Conor McGregor for stating acting was more difficult than fighting. His criticisms involved Khabib Nurmagomedov asking the Irishman whether he would fight him again or act. He put McGregor in the spot to decide for himself. Now, ‘The Notorious’ came back with a trolling response.

In his recently deleted tweet, Conor McGregor boldly claimed he tried his best to rematch Khabib Nurmagomedov, but that didn’t happen. As such, he defended his claims that acting was the toughest against Joe Rogan. Involving his nemesis, how could the Irish fighter not jibe at him? Here is what he jibed:

Hey @joerogan, I kidnapped Khabib's bear and put it in a tootoo and shot it in the back of the head and he still won't come back.

Khabib Nurmagomedov, at a young age, wrestled alongside baby bears. Many credit his dominance in the UFC to this unconventional training. Fighting Nurmagomedov in an unavoidable grudge match, Conor McGregor has a feud with the Bears as well. Even in a recent interview, when asked whether he would fight a bear or a gorilla, the Irishman chose Bear and took a shot at the Dagestani. So, there’s no surprise in his way of response to Joe Rogan.

Further, experiencing the taxing workload of both acting and fighting professions, Conor McGregor’s belief remained true for him. After a successful career in the fighting world, the former double champion made his Hollywood debut in Road House. However, moving forward, he declined acting offers as he wanted to make a comeback to the fighting world.

Why did Conor McGregor state acting was more difficult than fighting?

A fighter faces numerous struggles just to get inside the cage. It starts from booking an opponent and media appearances to weight-cutting and fighting itself. However, Conor McGregor, the man who experienced it firsthand, believed acting was more difficult. While his claims remained controversial and spurred debate among the fan base, what made him say it?

Promoting his film Road House, Conor McGregor detailed the time-consuming workload of filmmaking in an interview. He revealed having an irregular schedule and even working more than 16 hours a day. Also, he found it difficult to memorize the dialogue and sync with his co-stars. As such, it overwhelmed the expectations of the UFC fighter. However, he did a commendable job, earning praise after the release of Road House.

While many applauded Conor McGregor’s performance in the film, his comments about comparing fighting with acting still remained a hot topic. Credits to Joe Rogan’s criticism. Nonetheless, the fighter cum actor backed his opinions.
