*Refreshes Twitter furiously in the hope of a McGregor response*
There was no tact from Cub Swanson when Paddy Holohan was submitted in the main event of UFC Dublin on Saturday night.
Swanson, a long-time rival of Holohan’s SBG teammate Conor McGregor, took to Twitter to rub salt in the freshest of Holohan’s wounds.
Landed in Hawaii just in time to see @LASTSAMURAIUFC serve Paddy up some humble pie #ufcfightpass #UFCDublin @ufc

Not happy with the timing of Swanson’s remarks, fight fans responded by condemning the featherweight for adding insult to injury.

@CubSwanson @LASTSAMURAIUFC @ufc The man is the most humble around, you’d be smart to learn something from him. — Michael Kiersey (@MKiersey) October 24, 2015
Not one to back down, though, Swanson then sent out another post with a second dig at The Hooligan.
Smolka is a super nice and humble kid. I met Paddy a few times and he was cocky and rude

We’ve met Paddy a number of times and he’s never been anything but lovely to us so we don’t know what to believe.
