Conor McGregor trolled his old foe Max Holloway before taking down the tweet today.
The Notorious posted a picture of Holloway in action during his defeat to Dustin Poirier at UFC 236 last month.
And he wrote: "Maybe 'the interim champ champ' was just a step too far - interim FW today" before quickly deleting the tweet off his social media account.

A win over Poirier would have seen Holloway become the interim champion in the lightweight division to go with his featherweight title.
In the aftermath of the fight McGregor had praised the efforts of both fighters, including his former opponent Holloway, writing: "Amazing main event fights. How fighting should be!
"Max you are insanely tough! Please rest up now young Uce, you are a warrior head to toe! A champion FOREVER."
"Congratulations Dustin on a much deserved UFC title to your career. It is Nate [Diaz] next for you like previously scheduled."
