Game of Thrones stars Liam Cunningham and UFC Fighter Conor McGregor exchanged blows on Twitter, but this time the gloves were off and subjects were fatal. Spatt erupted after Cunningham, known for his role as Davos Seaworth, and denounced Israeli intercept of Freedom Flotira, a Gaza-detained aid ship carrying activists, including Greta Sanberg. It was seized on board in international waters on Monday morning.

Cunningham, who supported Flotilla’s mission, did not write words. “The Fleet of Freedom was attacked in the middle of the night. The ship was rammed, boarded, and 12 volunteers were invited, a more condemning action from the Tel Aviv genocide regime.”

Conor McGregor never moves away from controversy or keyboards, but responded with the bravery of his signature. “I thought you were on this boat Riamo, what happened? Did you forget your goggles? Do you get sea sick from gargling? Bottlers.” Jive referenced his absence from Cunningham’s ship, the actor’s lack of nerves, the classic Conor McGregor, always looking for scraps, even if it was online.
However, Cunningham delivered a quick counter punch: “I didn’t know I could read and write Connor. I thought I’d tapped out using my hand.” The comeback, which references McGregor’s infamous UFC submission loss, applauds throughout social media, and many call it a knockout blow in just 16 words.
Conor McGregor – Liam Cunningham Exchange is in the background of a well-known international incident. Madreen, a Freedom Frotira Alliance ship, was intercepted by Israeli forces and attempted to deliver humanitarian aid, baby formula, food and medical supplies to Gaza, which remains blocked. The surgery was dramatic. The drone reportedly dropped white material into a container, blocking communications, and onboards, including Thunberg and French MEP Rima Hassan, were taken into custody and the phone was confiscated.
Human rights lawyer Huwaida Alaf called the attack a violation of international law and argued that Israel does not have the legal authority to bind volunteers in international waters. Meanwhile, the Israeli government has dismissed the fleet as a propaganda stunt, accusing activists of seeking attention rather than providing assistance. The incident rekindled debate about the lockdown and the tactics used to implement it.
As for Twitter dust, McGregor’s joke attempts have made him feel bad in the face of Cunningham’s sharp retort. Online observers have declared it a clear victory for the actor, with one commenter likening it to a “delayed REF stop,” and another has called it “one of the most legendary comebacks ever.” For now, Onion Knight appears to have beaten the infamous.
