Conor McGregor has had enough of 50 Cent's trolling.

In a video shared by his Proper No. Twelve whiskey company, McGregor named 50 Cent as the celebrity he'd most like to fight - because of the rapper's mocking Instagram posts.

"I'd have to probably say 50 Cent. I'd like to fight him," the UFC star said, responding to a question submitted by a fan. "Throughout the course of the (Floyd) Mayweather buildup, I used him as a tool, a promotional tool, on the free also. I knew he was linked to Floyd so I tied him into the situation and he responded big time and we capitalized on that audience, so I was very happy with that and thankful.

"But then after that, he began a little tirade against me on social media, particularly Instagram, where he'd make these memes about me constantly."

Fifty has yet to respond to McGregor's words, but he has previously claimed he could beat the UFC star in street fight.

McGregor is scheduled to make his return to the Octagon on Jan. 18 in Las Vegas.
