Conor McGregor fans all asking same question after latest Instagram post

Conor McGregor fans were left puzzled by his latest social media post as he shared a smiling photo with an odd caption.

Alongside the beaming pic, he wrote: "I do this Hollywood stock on me back."

While the Hollywood reference is a clear allusion to him dipping his toe into acting at the moment, the phrasing otherwise left followers confused.

Josh said: "What the heck does that even mean??? Dude has lost it."

And Marc wrote: "What the f**k does that mean?!!!" Similarly, Tony said: "Whatever that means."

And if you think that's the UFC icon's strangest post of the day, you'd be wrong as he also issued a call-out to social media star Hasbulla.

McGregor suggested they spar having bickered back and forth online over the past few weeks.

In a since-deleted tweet, he said: "Let me spar Hasbulla UFC. Big gloves and a friendly affair I swear."

The Russian star rose to fame on social media and suffers with growth hormone deficiency (GHD), but is known for being good friends with the Dubliner's bitter rival Khabib Nurmagomedov, reports The Mirror.

He is yet to respond to the offer but will likely accept the offer given his intent to get his hands on the man he has frequently branded a "chicken".

UFC kingpin Dana White has previously discussed the idea of Hasbulla fighting in a cage, with the young star keen to settle his rivalry with Abdu Rozik in a fight.

However, the Russian has only signed a recent lucrative UFC deal to appear as a media representative and is unlikely to ever step foot in the octagon as a competitor.

White has explained this is largely down to the decision of Hasbulla's dad who is unlikely to let him fight over fears for his safety. "I don't know if he wants to get involved," White said on Pardon My Take. "From what I hear, his father is super protective of him. If that's the case, you don't want your kid fighting."

The high-profile star has seen videos of himself amass over three billion views online and he also has three million Instagram followers. This has raised the intrigue around his feud with McGregor even more, having initially responded: "I don’t follow bums… didn’t know someone was running their mouth, @ me next time".

He then added in a later fight call-out: "I have my UFC contract now, if Conor McGregor is really a man… see me in Abu Dhabi. Got smashed by Khabib already. Guess his money from Mayweather ran out and he needs more attention".

McGregor then responded again posting a picture of a children's toy with Hasbulla's face photoshopped on it with the caption: "Now what you saying you little gimp."

Hasbulla then hit back for a final time on Twitter, writing: "Hey uncle @danawhite and @ufc please make it happen, let me eat this chicken @TheNotoriousMMA. I'm hungry, I’ll smash him with my mountain spirit.

"My brother @TeamKhabib smashed him and all his team, now is my time to rise! #HasbullaTime #CantDeleteMyTweetsConor."
