One added: “I hope this goes in the deleted tweets pile, this is scary.”
Another added: “He’s officially lost it fellas.”
McGregor, 34, happens to be a huge fan of apes and even has a gorilla tattooed on his chest.
His weird social media posts come as the former UFC champion returns to training ahead of a comeback next year.
McGregor is yet to return since breaking his leg in the first round of his trilogy bout against Dustin Poirier, 33, in July 2021.

He has been ruled out of fighting until 2023, having undertaken his first Hollywood role.
McGregor is starring in a reboot of Patrick Swayze’s 1989 classic Roadhouse, alongside Jake Gyllenhaal.
But it has paved the way for superstar to make a massive return to the cage next year.
He said on Instagram Live: “I’m going to be back soon, hopefully. Early 2023 I’m aiming for. Sometime in that first quarter.”
