Conor McGregor has shown his support for the Kardashian family and Armenia on social media.
The Notorious was responding to a fan on Twitter who asked the UFC star to highlight the Armenian Genocide during the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century.
McGregor, whose former SBG teammate and good friend Dillon Danis has family roots in Armenia, tweeted: "I’m team Armean all day! The Danis’s and the Kardashian’s!
"Don’t mess with them Armenians. Proper Money getters and will fight under attack."
Reality television stars the Kardashians also have an Armenian connection as Robert Kardashian, father of Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, and Rob, has family roots in Armenia.
It comes as McGregor posted a series of photos in another tribute to his old teenage stomping ground Crumlin Boxing Club.
The former two-weight UFC champ cut his teeth as a youngster in combat sports at the Dublin club, before making the move to mixed martial arts.
And the 30-year-old hasn't forgotten his roots, posting to social media to show an inspirational message on some old steps at the club. McGregor posted the photos to his Instagram late Wednesday night.
The steps make the slogan 'winners become champions' with the top step being a Crumlin Boxing Club logo.
The post comes after McGregor repaid a €70 loan to his former boxing coach 15 years after borrowing the money.
Paddy Brady got The Notorious tools when he was training to be a plumber years before he became famous.
McGregor returned to Crumlin Boxing Club, where Brady once coached him alongside two-time Olympian Phil Sutcliffe, for an exhibition fight last week and gave his former coach a cheque.
Brady told MMA Fighting's Eurobash: "That’s the money owes me from 15 years ago.
"I got him his tools when he was going off to do his plumbing and he never paid me back. Every time I see him I say, ‘Don’t forget you owe me that few bob’."
Sutcliffe added: "It was a joke between a few of us, it was going around the whole club,’
"We had a picture in the gym of Paddy saying [Conor owed him money] on Sky television before the Mayweather fight.
"Conor was slagging him and he wrote him a cheque for 70 quid. Now, the cheque isn’t going to be cashed, it’s going to be photographed with a picture of the two of them and it’s going up on the wall."
Meanwhile, the man who fought McGregor in the exhibition match claims the UFC star caught him with the worst cheap shot he's ever suffered.
Amateur boxer Michael McGrane told TMZ: "It was the cheapest shot I ever caught in me life, man.

"You're meant to go back to your corner, but Conor never went back to his corner. He leaped at me with a left hook."
The Notorious hasn't fought in a boxing match since his mega-money 2017 bout with Floyd Mayweather, which was believed to have earned him €100 million.
He is currently in talks for a UFC return this year, despite announcing his retirement with a social media post last month.
His last UFC fight ended by fourth round submission to Khabib Nurmagomedov in October last year at UFC 229.
