Paul Felder scoffs at Conor McGregor questioning his Irish heritage: ‘Go blow some lines’

“The Irish Dragon” is breathing fire at Conor McGregor.

At media day for UFC Vegas 14 on Thursday, lightweight contender Paul Felder was given the opportunity to respond to Twitter insults directed at him by Conor McGregor and he didn’t mince words. McGregor, one of most famous Irish sports stars in the world, has poked fun at Felder’s heritage claims in the past, referencing the Germanic origins of Felder’s name in a pair of since-deleted tweets (screenshots of which can be viewed here).

Reminded of the comments, Felder noted that McGregor may want to examine his own background before casting aspersions.
