Rumors have emerged regarding a potential rematch bout between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov, and the pair's latest Twitter activity did nothing but stir the pot.

The Russian MMA star and reigning UFC Lightweight champion kicked things off by taking a jab at McGregor, posting a photo from their first meeting in which Khabib had the Irishman on the ground looking helpless.

That's a surefire way to get a rise out of McGregor, who took less than an hour to clap back with a response of his own, criticizing Khabib for his infamous post-fight antics, which earned him a suspension from the UFC.

There's some real bad blood between these two, which is what makes the idea of a rematch all the more appealing. This exchange on Twitter will do nothing but increase MMA fans' desire to see these two back in the octagon exchanging blows in a battle for supremacy.

In the meantime, their hilarious Twitter feud will have to hold fans over.
