Clash of the Irish fighters: Conor McGregor and Sheamus get tetchy on Twitter

Why can't we all just get along?

There's no love lost between fellow Irish men Conor McGregor and WWE star Sheamus who seemed to take an innocent Twitter poll a bit too seriously. Sports Illustrated get a simple debate going with their followers and it opens up a whole can of worms.

Professional wrestler, Sheamus, aims a dig at McGregor, claiming he wouldn't hit a featherweight.

ok @SInowLIVE @ufc @TheNotoriousMMA, Conor wins. I don't hit featherweights or shoeshine boys. Mouth off to @BrockLesnar fella, I'm injured.

And then of course, Conor McGregor being Conor McGregor doesn't let it lie.

Sheamus gets off the ropes though and hits The Notorious with a brilliant uppercut of a comeback.

Had bigger dumps after a salad @TheNotoriousMMA lad. U can hold @BrockLesnar's @WWE title while the big boys duke-it-out. Win @ufc title 1st
