As usual, McGregor is the essence of humility in the lead-up to his next bout.
McGregor tweeted a picture of himself and Siver eye-balling each other at the 'stare-down' with the caption 'Kiss them feet Nazi'. For those of who still need context at this point, Siver is a Russian of German descent.
Nazis and Germany, ye know all that?
Not previously regarded as a beacon of political correctness, McGregor nonetheless deleted the tweet, and proceeded to tweet out this enigmatic, almost Samuel Beckett like message instead.
What?

He then delivered a somewhat insincere apology - of the type that usually aggravates the situation.
