Draymond Green is no stranger to feuds, the combative Warriors man picks fights with fellow players on the basketball court and has been known to beef with media personalities and even some fans off of it. Green isn’t afraid to say what he thinks, and it often gets him into tiffs with people online, although nothing will top the time he got into it with former UFC champion Conor McGregor.
In 2017, McGregor was gearing up for a massive fight, dubbed ‘The Biggest Fight In Combat Sports History’, against Floyd Mayweather Jr. To try and get into Mayweather’s head, McGregor wore a CJ Watson Warriors jersey with the No. 23 on it, as Watson had allegedly been involved with Floyd’s girl. Green, who had since taken up the No. 23, posted about McGregor on Instagram, dissing him, which earned a reply from the fighter.
Draymond Green: “We rocking with Floyd bro not you… take that off bruh.”
Conor McGregor: “That’s C.J Watson mate. I don’t know who the f**k you are. No disrespect tho kid, keep hustling and stay in school.”
“Now ask yourself why I’m rocking C. J when I don’t know or give a f**k about basketball. I dribble heads off the floor. Not a ball. This is no game here, kid.”
Green being himself, also went on to reply again, listing out his achievements before dissing McGregor some more.
“That number won’t be worn again when I’m finished with it clown! Gold medalist, NBA champ, All-Star, DPOY etc!!! Hahahaha stop it boy! Nate Diaz whooped you in your ring! Money May about to destroy you!!! Take that Warrior jersey off bruh, you’re an incredible internet troll we don’t rock with you!!! Go train bum!”
McGregor went on to lose in the 10th round by technical knockout against Mayweather, so it would seem like Green and the person he was supporting got the last laugh. While it may be fun to see Draymond beefing with media personalities and Boston fans, Round 2 between him and McGregor would be quite fun to watch as well.
