Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier bickered back-and-forth on social media after the Irishman trolled UFC's 'BMF' title fight between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz.

Masvidal vs. Diaz goes down in New York at UFC 244 and they'll fight for the promotion's inaugural 'BMF' belt, and McGregor took a shot at their upcoming championship bout.

On Twitter, he wrote: "What date is that interim BMF title fight on again?"

The former UFC double champ clearly sees himself as the official baddest motherf***er following his 2016 victory over Diaz.

But his taunt over the 'BMF' title didn't sit well with Poirier who hit back.

"3 years 10 days since you won your last fight. Do the math champ," he said in reply to McGregor's Tweet.

But McGregor immediately fired back, referencing his bank account: "Awesome bro. Now count my bank digits."

Of course, McGregor hasn't fought since his devastating defeat to Khabib Nurmagomedov last year, but he's hellbent on returning to the Octagon with a rematch against Poirier mooted.

The American called out McGregor following his defeat to Nurmagomedov at UFC 242.

Though the 31-year-old savagely responded to his call-out.

"I fed you to the canvas in 90 seconds bro. You should have spoke my name with a bit more respect in that build up. 'McGregor's not next' Motherf***er, it's McGregor always! McGregor is the goal! Always! Say that now and I'll think about it. #GoneIn90seconds #NicCage #AJolie," he said.
