Conor McGregor has feuded with almost all the big names in combat sports, particularly on social media. Recently, Jake Paul has become one of McGregor’s prime targets and vice versa. As such, McGregor posted a video on social media, trolling Paul, with Tony Ferguson caught in the crossfire.
Merab Dvalishvili has been making a serious of trolls with a doppelganger of Sean O’Malley. It seems McGregor has found two doppelgangers. The Irishman posted the hilarious face-off video on social media, trolling the crossover boxing star and the former interim lightweight champion.

Interestingly, the two men in the video resembled Logan Paul (not Jake Paul) and Tony Ferguson. However, the Logan Paul doppelganger was shorter than the real Logan Paul. Similar was the case for the Ferguson doppelganger. Jake Paul and Ferguson have called out McGregor in the past. However, neither fight came to fruition.
Paul had insisted on a boxing match with McGregor and has been critical of UFC CEO Dana White, regarding fighter pay. On the other hand, Tony Ferguson appeared to have some problems with McGregor, particularly as they were once part of the same management team.
Tony Ferguson’s feud with Conor McGregor
Tony Ferguson is now on a record-tying seven-fight losing streak. However, before that, he was on a lightweight-record twelve-fight winning streak. Despite being one of the best lightweights, Ferguson never fought for the undisputed lightweight title. He has also not fought Khabib Nurmagomedov or Conor McGregor, the two biggest names at the time.

After ending business with management, Ferguson was critical of them. He accused them of the reason for him not getting a title shot. According to Ferguson, the management team cheated him to favor McGregor. Ferguson even stated that Dana White had told him about it.
I love Tony. We represented him amazingly at Paradigm sports and were betrayed for a promise of a baseball contract. But frame and preparation here was just embarrassing. His methods and conversation are humorous/enjoyable but he was never the level perceived. Although tough.

However, McGregor has always stated their innocence. The Irishman stated Ferguson’s overvaluation of himself and unrealistic demands were why Paradigm Sports parted ways with Tony Ferguson. Nonetheless, Ferguson accused Paradigm Sports and Conor McGregor even in his latest appearance on the JAXXON podcast.
Despite being on a record losing streak, Dana White has announced Ferguson will fight Michael Chiesa at a Fight Night in Abu Dhabi on August 3. However, White revealed it was also the retirement fight for “El Cucuy.” Nick Diaz is on the co-main event of the fight card against Vicente Luque. The matchmaking attracted criticism, as fight fans stated Diaz vs. Ferguson was the right matchup.
