While MMA fighters are some of the most toughest and intimidating individuals on the planet, they were in jubilant spirits as another Father’s Day rolled around. Many popular stars took to social media to take part in the celebrations and also have a bit of fun coming up with creative memes.

Dustin Poirier’s wife Jolie took to Instagram to post a picture of ‘The Diamond’ with his daughter, while writing:

“Happy Father’s Day Daddyyy! We love you so much & hope you have the best day today & everyday.”

MMA megastar Conor McGregor posted a picture with his infant while extending his regards to all the fathers around the world.

Former women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm showered praise on her father, posting multiple photos of them together.

An inventive message posted by Cub Swanson and the UFC shows the featherweight star having a great time with his three kids while preparing for his upcoming fight at UFC 303.

MMA fighters turn Father’s Day into a troll fest

However, MMA fighters are some of the best trash talkers in all of sports. So it’s only natural that a few used the occasion to troll their opponents. Let’s take a look at some hilariously malicious Father’s Day messages.

UFC Hall of Famer Chael Sonnen inserted a sly dig a Jorge Masvidal in his message. The 47-year-old wrote:

“Happy Father’s Day. As much as I love kids, sometimes they need more discipline, which is why I can’t wait to spank Jorge Masvidal.”

Dustin Poirier trolled his former opponents Conor McGregor and Micahel Chandler in an inventive post.
