You just knew Conor McGregor wouldn’t be able to resist trolling Jose Aldo about THAT billboard

The real question is whether or not McGregor was actually heading to the golden arches or not.

The Notorious was out for a spot of driving, last night, and wanted to share some of his journey with his millions of Twitter followers.

He just happened, we’re sure, to include the infamous Jose Aldo ‘Get Laid’ billboard that currently adorns the Naas Road in his picture.

The billboard, which caused a bit of controversy earlier this week, depicts a KO’ed Aldo and the line ‘You Don’t Need a Brazilian to Get Laid’.

McGregor has not yet addressed Aldo’s emotional Facebook post, from Wednesday night, in which he demanded a rematch for the featherweight belt he lost at UFC 194.

Consider this an emphatic response.

McGregor, meanwhile, has been labelled ‘the devil’ by a Russian fighter in his featherweight division.

Zubaira Tukhugov told Last Round, “He is the devil. [With] all his tattoos, he looks like hell.”

Tukhugov’s comments follow McGregor’s light-hearted declaration, late last year, that he could “whoop” the reincarnated Jesus Christ in a fight.

“I felt very uncomfortable,” he said, “because it offends Jesus – our prophet… how do you then respect him and root for him? If he insults a prophet, he must be punished for it.”

As McGregor himself might say, get in line.
