Brown, 42, hit out at McGregor during an interview with Michael Bisping on May 27, where he alleged that McGregor was a "f***ing bum," and that he was either "getting coked up," or "juiced out of his mind":

"[McGregor is] a nobody in my opinion. He was amazing --- I give him props for everything he did. At this point he's a bum. 

"Everything you see is him drinking, or getting coked up, or you know, he's juiced out of his mind. That's f***ing bum life, to me. All that money don't make you not a bum .... When you step in the cage you're a f***ing bum."

McGregor replied to Brown in a deleted Tweet on May 30, where he directly referred to Brown's history with heroin addiction:
