UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor has fired off a vicious response to the recent cancellation of UFC 223’s highly anticipated title fight.
UFC interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson and tough division contender Khabib Nurmagomedov were initially set to fight for the undisputed UFC lightweight title in the main event of UFC 223. Due to McGregor’s inactivity inside the octagon, “Notorious” was set to be stripped as soon as the first punch was thrown in the match.
However, Ferguson has since suffered an injury. Having torn his LCL, Ferguson has been pulled from the title fight. Ferguson vs. Nurmagomedov has been cancelled a staggering total of four times now.
Nurmagomedov will now fight UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway for the UFC lightweight title, with Ferguson and McGregor now both set to be stripped of their titles. Taking to Twitter, McGregor offered a critical statement over the fight’s cancellation and last minute change up.
“These fools pull out more times than I do with my d*ck.”
These fools pull out more times than I do with my dick.
