The Irishman is one of the most popular athletes in the world, boasting 9.8million followers on the app, so it wasn't long before fans spotted what appeared to be some unusual activity on Thursday morning.
After McGregor's name began trending, the 'like' was subsequently removed, but not before eagle-eyed followers screen-grabbed it.
'UHHHHH HEY CONOR YOUR LIKES ARE PUBLIC,' commented the Spinning Backfist account.
'What a lovely day, I think I'll look at Conor McGregor's likes on Twitter - oh good heavens,' said another.
CONOR! CONORRRRRRRR! PEOPLE CAN SEE YOUR TWITTER LIKES CONOR!!!!!! CONOR NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!' said a third.
Earlier in the week, McGregor took to Instagram to send a vitriolic message to UFC fighter Kelvin Gastelum - mocking his latest injury, which has ruled him out of this weekend's main event against Nassourdine Imavov.
In a story post, McGregor wrote: 'Absolute scruff this thing is. That's full on staph infection all over his f***ing face. A full f***ing hole omg and it's his second time to attempt to enter competition like this. wtf! clean your mats. wash yourself. f*****g go to the doctor! Scruff.'
Staph infections are caused by staphylococcus bacteria, which can be found on the ground, human skin and in the nose. UFC fighters are prone to transmission of the disease due to the nature of close contact in training.
Gastelum fired back at Notorious on Wednesday night, writing on Twitter: 'Relax u lil leprechaun. The coke and steroids are kicking in.'
It is not the first time McGregor has criticised Gastelum over his battles with staph infection. In 2019 the Irishman labelled him a 'worm' before Gastelum's scheduled bout with Robert Whittaker.
McGregor's last fight was in July 2021, when he suffered a first round defeat to Dustin Poirier after breaking his tibia.
A woman is accusing Conor McGregor of kicking and punching her while aboard his yacht in Ibiza last year ... but the UFC superstar is adamant the incident never happened.
According to the Majorca Daily Bulletin in Spain, the woman claims the altercation went down after a night of clubbing to celebrate McGregor's birthday in July 2022.
The woman -- who reportedly grew up in the same Dublin neighborhood as Conor -- claims once the party made its way to McGregor's yacht, he started to insult her appearance before kicking her in the midsection and punching her ... even threatening to drown her.
According to the outlet, the woman told Irish police she "feared for her life" ... and was forced to flee the scene by jumping off the boat.
The 34-year-old's spokesperson, Karen Kessler, released a statement on the allegations ... saying, "Mr. McGregor is steadfast in his denial of all the accusations made by a guest on his boat."
The woman reportedly did not identify McGregor when making a statement to Spain's Civil Guard ... but filed a complaint with Irish police days later.
The alleged incident is currently under investigation.
