Irish star Conor McGregor has courted fresh controversy after delivering a tasteless IRA joke on social media.
The UFC star hasn't fought since being dominated by Khabib Nurmagomedov last October and a hand injury suffered earlier this year has pushed back his Octagon return.
McGregor made the boast after a fan compared his current look to Superbad director and star Seth Rogen.
The former two-weight champion appeared to appreciate the similarity and delivered a message to the Hollywood star.
He said on his Instagram : "You bad ass motherf***** Seth, can't wait for Superbad 2, McGregor and McLovin join the IRA."
The 31-year-old has has been involved in a string of controversies in 2019, including knocking a phone out of a fan's hand in Miami before smashing it.
The 'Notorious' one will also appear in court on Friday charged with allegedly assaulting a man in an Irish pub in April.
McGregor issued an apology for his recent behaviour last month.
He said: ‘People are trying to bait me into things.
"Am I the fish or am I the whale? ‘I must be calm, I must be zen. I must lead by example.
"There’s so many people looking up to me. ‘How can I react in this way? I need to get a hold of this and like I said I’m working very hard to do this.’
