MMA superstar Conor McGregor deleted a tweet about Logan Paul’s fiance, Nina Agdal moments before the American took on Dillon Danis.
On Saturday night, Paul and Danis went six rounds inside the AO Arena in Manchester.
YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul was awarded the win after Danis was disqualified for attempting an MMA move in the final seconds of the last round, which sparked a mass brawl inside the ring.
Moments before the fight started, Irishman McGregor took to social media and wrote: “Logan, me and her, what's up," which he quickly deleted.
McGregor also took aim at Ngdal on an Instagram post which he has since edited, it now reads: “Watch out for the secret move, we gonna blow the socks off this arena and then I’m going sideways on the lambo at 220.”

Before the fight, McGregor told the Daily Mirror that Danis was going to win.
He said: “Dillon’s going to win. He had the baby, we didn’t get to train together.
“So, I don’t know the ins and outs. I know he’s doing well, he’s still training and he’s going to go for it. He’s had a baby, he had a new baby so I tried to bring him out. Dillon’s good.”
Whilst Danis also opened up about the help he received from the UFC superstar, as per the Daily Star, he told The MMA Hour: “He talks to me every day. On the mental side he sends me voice notes, videos and certain things that I should do. He's always there for me even if we're not there physically, mentally we talk every single day.

“For the baby thing it was literally when he was being born and I had the press conference and then he was in France it was just a lot of travel. We trained for almost two months before that in New York boxing every day so we're always training together.”
