Conor McGregor, who last week retired from mixed martial arts, is already challenging people to fights. On Saturday night, McGregor sent out a bizarre tweet challenging actor Mark Wahlberg to a fight.
What he wants from the “Hollywood actress” are his shares of the UFC.
I’ve decided to challenge Hollywood actress Mark Walhberg next.
A fight for all the shares!— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) March 31, 2019
Wahlberg was one of several celebrities who purchased a stake in the UFC back in 2016. McGregor has been lobbying for a piece of the company for months now, a notion that was shutdown by UFC President Dana White, who said the only way that McGregor would get a piece of the company is by purchasing it.
A few minutes after the initial tweet, McGregor sent out a response to a comment made on the the first tweet and added that he would “smack him and his 4 brothers around.”
I’ll smack him and his 4 brothers around.
It wouldn’t be the first crew of brothers i’ve smacked around.
Check the history books.

The first tweet can be brushed off fairly easily, but the second one, where McGregor doubles down and throws the family in there might have gone too far. If you’re Mark Wahlberg, I think you have to take this fight.
