Bengaluru, March 9: The UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor has been busy calling out his rivals off-late and this time, it is none other than hip-hop artist 50 Cent. The pair have been in war of words since McGregor and Floyd Mayweather's blockbuster boxing bout was announced last year.

This time, however, the Irishman has taken the battle to an whole new level and has called out Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cent, in the most sarcastic way possible via his Instagram,

Happy international Women's day everyone! Get your tits out for the lads ladies. We love you ❤ Superior genes my big ballsack mate. I am made of granite. You need a bra. You jabbed up fool. Hahahaha you should have stayed quiet and promoted that fight for me on the free like you did. But you just kept going with them fucking memes. Your 50, 50. 50 years old. Fuck off. It's all love tho fifty serious, you are a mad bastard, but we still proper love a few of your tunes over on this side of the world. I even blasted one of them on the free walking into madison square garden to take one of my belts. It was called I run New York. @beatsbydre

Like we mentioned earlier, this is just the latest chapter in this odd, yet thoroughly entertaining, war of words between Mr. McGregor and Mr. Cent.

Last year, after McGregor lost to Mayweather, 50 Cent claimed he would beat the "150-pound" UFC champion in a street fight.

"In the street? Yeah! C'mon, he weighs 150 pounds, man," 50 Cent said on late night talk show Watch What Happens Live.

"I was like this fool didn't know if he was fighting Floyd or me," 50 Cent said. "But he was doing his job; he was putting on a show and making sure everybody was paying attention."

A few months later, McGregor asked his fans to tag "50 Kid," on an Instagram post after the rapper had blocked him.

Making deals and TAKING deals! Kings recognise Kings! Congrats to @jayz on his number 1 takeover from @diddy in the highest paid Forbes list. What a take-over! Diddy hasn't been number 2 in so long. Until now. Zoom into that two tone with the powder blue on my wrist mate. You might see 1st place again. I am also really interested to see this years Forbes highest paid athletes list. I have now surpassed @cristiano Ronaldo as I told him I would in 2016. Floyd as a retired fighter that makes ZERO substantial revenue outside of them ropes is not on the list, and in the long game, is already dead. Mixed Martial Arts is a glorious game, Floyd. You are going to love it hahaha Someone tag 50cent in this for me. He blocked me on this the mad 50 year old instagram blocker. Ahh don't block me 50 kid, I still like some of your songs. The older ones hahah King bless you all! @burgerking

In a recent video, 50 Cents acknowledged McGregor's words by calling the UFC star "talented for a white boy".

The Irishman hasn't set foot in the Octagon since November 2016 and it still doesn't look like he will be anytime soon. But, he hasn't ruled out a return to the UFC though. He has made noises via social media about his possible opponents.

The UFC lightweight champion had hinted of a possible rematch with boxer Mayweather under MMA rules, which now looks very bleak after latest reports came out that the boxing legend isn't interested in the bout.

Meanwhile, McGregor has had call outs from most in the UFC including his long time rival Nate Diaz, with whom he could complete a triology.

McGregor was also open to facing Tony Ferguson or Khabib Nurmagemadov, who face each other for the UFC interim lightweight title on April 7 in UFC 223.

But, as per recent reports, the pair are fighting for McGregor's belt, which implies Conor Mcgregor may soon become the former UFC lightweight Champion. We'll know wether that is official in a few weeks time.
