Conor McGregor UFC news: The Notorious challenges 50 Cent to fight

Conor McGregor has called out rapper 50 Cent to settle their differences with their fists.

The Notorious has a long-running grudge with the American tracing back to the UFC star's Las Vegas megafight with Floyd Mayweather in 2017.

And asked what celebrity he would like to fight in a Q&A session, McGregor was in no doubt.

He explained: "Throughout the course of the Mayweather build-up, I used him as a promotional tool, on the free also.

"I know he was linked to Floyd, so I tied him into a situation and he responded big time, and we capitalised on that audience, so I was very happy with that.

"But then after that, he began a little tirade against me on social media, particularly on Instagram, where he'd make this memes about me constantly.

"Every time I'd got onto the internet, I'd see that 50 Cent has posted some new stupid meme.

"And I wrote under one of the memes: 'old man on the internet making memes' and then he blocked me".

"I still get tagged sometimes by people saying he's after saying this and that, so I'd love to get a knock off old 50.

"So, if you're listening 50, let's get it going bud."
