Conor McGregor has insulted five top MMA trainers, before saluting his own trainer John Kavanagh.
The Irishman, who is set to return later this year against Michael Chandler, lashed out at several big-name managers on Twitter.
He wrote: ‘Firaz Zahabi is a little jerk, Trevor Wittman is a pad man. Javier Mendez is a fat ass licking boxer, Mike Brown is a stinking jerk, Greg Jackson got caught up, Coach Kavanagh’s system is now shining.
In the years to come, the world will know where we’ve been. It’s starting to bear fruit, if you want to train.
‘Train at SBG Ireland with Kav. Me too. We are a fighting factory similar to a butter churn.

Ali Abdelaziz, manager of several fighters including McGregor’s old foe Khabib Nurmagomedov, then responded: ‘Hey please, this sounds like you’re taking fetanol, out of your mind.
‘Firas, Trevor, Javier, Greg Jackson and Mike Brown, you and your coach can’t even shine your shoes, your team along with 20 UFC fighters got cut from the UFC because you all suck, what are you talking about?’
And McGregor responded: ‘Hey, shit stain on the game, I’m talking about as of now it’s starting to pay off. We beat their fighting system in Tuf. Is blocked.
‘No wonder the shitty pants rushed. There is no competition now. The style leader is too fat and afraid to compete again.
So we win. You can’t compete with us. Watch and witness your rat b***rd.
McGregor recently took up training himself. The former two-weight champion finished filming The Ultimate Fighter, leading a team against Chandler.
The reality show will air this summer as the precursor to them stepping into the cage and competing in a fight that is likely to be at welterweight.
McGregor will face Michael Chandler later this year in his return fight.

McGregor has only won once since 2016, but he remains one of the biggest names in the sport.
His fight with Chandler will undoubtedly be one of the biggest pay-per-view events of the year and he could even earn himself a title shot with a win.
The 34-year-old hasn’t fought since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier in July two years ago and it remains to be seen how the layoff will affect him.
There were reports that McGregor was having some discomfort throwing kicks, but he’s back in training and recently tweeted that his California camp is about to begin.
