It feels like just yesterday Twitter was roasting Nate Robinson after his fight with Jake Paul, but UFC's Twitter fanbase has a new victim as of last night: Conor McGregor. The Irish ex-featherweight fighter went down against Dustin Poirier in the second round of their match in Abu Dhabi. UFC fans - especially people who believe McGregor needs to hang up his gloves - were quick to meme photos of McGregor out cold. The memes, which are mostly relatable (or feature Bernie Sanders), have almost become more fun than the fight itself. If he ever ends up fighting Jake Paul, at least we know we have some comedy to look forward to.

Pop star Justin Bieber is swiftly approaching Kanye-levels of attention seeking. The 25 year old pop star sent a bizarre tweet last night challenging the 56 year old actor to a UFC match.
"I wanna challenge Tom Cruise to fight in the octagon. Tom if you dont take this fight your scared and you will never live it down. Who is willing to put on the fight?"
The strange tweet went viral very, very quickly - and has inspired a good old-fashioned roasting of the ballsy pop star. We're definitely Team Cruise, and would love to see the seasoned action star put Bieber in his place. If you need more background on this weird exchange, check out the Know Your Meme entry!

She may have lost her most recent fight, but Ronda Rousey is still the most famous UFC fighter in the world right now, so it comes as no surprise that she'd be on the cover of a UFC video game. Rousey herself is pretty excited about it:
“As a gamer myself, it’s pretty surreal to be on the cover of the game and to have a woman on the cover of a UFC game shows a lot of progress. I’m really happy to be involved with it.”
This also means you'll be able to make female fighters in the game, which is new to this version of EA Sports' UFC.
