Machine Gun Kelly has further fueled his feud with Conor McGregor following the UFC star's underwhelming comeback to the sport.
As previously reported, the former UFC Featherweight and Lightweight champion returned to the octagon for the first time in five years to face Max Holloway, but the fight was ended just one minute and nine seconds in.
MGK, 36, took to Instagram to make light of the moment, sharing a photo of Conor, 37, punching up at him on the red carpet of the 2021 MTV VMAs as he walked the carpet with his then-partner Megan Fox, 40.
Within the post he also included stills of Conor from UFC 329 over the weekend, as he fell to the canvas multiple times, with the caption: "knees weak of old age the real conor can’t stand up."
The jibe was a play on lyrics from his track 'Rap Devil', which was released amid his feud with Eminem and original said "knees weak of old age, the Real Slim Shady can’t stand up."
The post received mixed reactions from fans, but MGK doubled down nonetheless and shared a video reiterating his stance.
He told his followers: "I'm aware I did a post yesterday and I should probably apologise for... absolutely nothing homie, f**k this dude.
"That's how beef works, we don't like each other. Everyone is saying 'You commented on his age, he's only one year older than you.' Hey, guess what? We don't age the same, my knees are awesome.
"'Oh you wouldn't say it to his face' - I already did, that's why that picture exists of that little leprechaun punching up and missing me, and me not flinching.
"Where the f**k is the rest of the footage where we toss this little guy like a piece of dirty drawers across the red carpet? That's why all the footage starts from far away."
He savagely added: "Buddy you look like a drunk, ugly extra in a Sherlock Holmes movie. What in the 1934 am I looking at? Fix your face, holy s**t.
"'Why are you kicking him while he's down?' F**k this guy when he's down, up, sideways, asleep, while I'm peeing - sorry - f**k him. What in the f**k happened to your landing strip on your head?
"Worst ten seconds I've ever seen. Thank you for the walkout being longer than the fight."
Conor had previously addressed the incident on the red carpet, saying during an appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show while discussing the feud between Terence Crawford and Ilia Topuria: "He shouldn't have kicked a man while he was down, especially when you're ringside. That's what happened to me and that Machine Gun f**king Kelly guy that time. Not to say they are even the same, but just as a comparison.
"We were at the VMAs, I walk out of the car, I've got the whiskey glass, the gold cane, fresh break after breaking the leg.
"I was like, 'Megan, how are you darlin'? You're always at the fights, I know you before I know that tick.'
"And he says, 'We don't f**k with you'. You don't f**k with me? You was ringside at the fight two f**king days ago! And he's lucky he didn't get his face broke badly there."
It doesn't sound like these two are going to be friends any time soon...
