Conor McGregor admits regret at hitting out at Tony Ferguson following KO defeat

Conor McGregor has admitted he is "upset" at his behaviour after hitting out at Tony Ferguson following his KO defeat by Michael Chandler.

McGregor provided a running social media commentary of UFC 274 which included the lightweight clash between Ferguson and Chandler. The 38-year-old was brutally KO'd by a front kick which McGregor promptly mocked by comparing his face to a chicken nugget.

However he has now issued an apology while appearing to blame new Twitter owner Elon Musk, tweeting: "I’m upset I went at Tony like that. Out straight. Wtf team, this is not a nice app nor does it encourage nice behaviour toward each other. 43 billion, man pull that and say 'sike' who give a f***, really. No one. Dip to a dip on the ship. The carry the toys ship. Leave a beast a beast."
