Social media sure has a way of hitting you when you're down sometimes.
If he cared - which he almost certainly doesn't after making a record payday a little over a week ago - Conor McGregor would be finding that out right about now.
With the bruises from his fourth round submission defeat to Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 still healing, McGregor has been traveling across America, doing events and spruiking his new Proper 12 Whiskey.
He went to a Drake concert a few days ago, and was sideline in Dallas as the Cowboys hosted the Jacksonville Jaguars in the NFL.

A pumped up McGregor was spotted in the Cowboys' team huddle before the match, but it's his throwing arm that has caused the biggest reaction on social media.
Put simply - it wasn't good.
Invited onto the field before kick-off, McGregor was given a football and told to have a throw.
The result is below...

Notes for McGregor:
— Brett Lawson (@BrettLawsonLV) October 14, 2018
-Keep distance from Khabib if rematch happens
-Avoid ethnic-religious related verbal jabs in the build up
-Work on setting feet, turnings hips and shoulders while getting full range of motion upon release of the football. Mechanics Conor, it’s all mechanics
Harsh.
McGregor throwing the football... about as good as 50 Cent throwing the baseball... 🤣 pic.twitter.com/wu27z8B6ql

Although, given the way the Jaguars' offense played today - only scoring one touchdown - there's a few people saying this...
