Conor McGregor exposed by journalist over swiftly deleted tweet as UFC fighter's spokesperson issues statement
Conor McGregor immediately removed his post from social media.
Conor McGregor has been called out by a journalist after the UFC star sent him a message on social media before deleting the post.
Paul Healy, a crime correspondent, took to social media to reveal a derogatory post that he received from McGregor after the fighter's spokesperson provided a comment.
However, the former UFC champion swiftly removed his post from social media, but the reporter screenshotted the message before it was deleted.

On X, Healy wrote: "Had a good professional encounter with McGregor’s spokesperson who kindly provided comment yesterday.
"Woke up this morning to Conor calling me smelly again.
"Deleted but I just about caught it .@TheNotoriousMMA.
"How about an interview and you can say it to my face?"
The post was accompanied with an image of McGregor's now-deleted message, which read: "You're welcome smelly. Paul smelly Healy. Smelly little pr**k have a wash."
McGregor has recently been involved in a legal battle, where Nikita Hand won her civil case after accusing him of raping her in December 2018.
The 36-year-old, who hasn't fought since July 2021, was due to return to the UFC last summer until a toe injury forced him to withdraw against Michael Chandler.
But a fight against Chandler could still be on the cards for 2025 following a recent social media exchange.
"19 KO’s in Pro MMA, that not my business tho great chat Dana White, love your thinking!" He wrote before adding: "Anywhere, anyweight, anytime."
Chandler chipped in, telling him to try and add a KO number 20, asking: "Remember in the cold tub doing the TUF coaches’ challenge you said I’d be your 20th? Show up and try me."
The 36-year-old tagged Dana White, replying: "It’s you! Rest up and I’ll see you at the top."
Chandler had been holding out for a fight against McGregor but to no avail.
He eventually made his Octagon return against Charles Oliveira last month, losing a decision at UFC 309.
