Conor McGregor Lit the UFC Lightweight Division on Fire in a Twitter Rant
Conor McGregor watched UFC 249 this weekend and had some thoughts. As he watched two potential future opponents face off in the main even between Justin Gaethje and Tony Ferguson, McGregor clearly felt underwhelmed by their abilities. He carried that over to Twitter on Monday.
The following tweet storm ripped all of his potential opponents in the lightweight division and seemed to announce that he was ready to take on any of them:
He started with a commentary on holding an event with no fans:
The fans make the sport!

Watching the other night I was against going in without them. But it will be my fucking pleasure to display the power I possess with zero background noise for them.
Its me and Justin next as khabib is the biggest bottle fighter in the game.
Guarantee it.
Then he had thoughts on Ferguson, who lost to Gaethje via fifth-round TKO:
I love Tony. We represented him amazingly at Paradigm sports and were betrayed for a promise of a baseball contract. But frame and preparation here was just embarrassing. His methods and conversation are humorous/enjoyable but he was never the level perceived. Although tough.

Then he had insight on a potential matchup between Ferguson and Dustin Poirier:
It is Dustin/Tony next when Tony heals.

If he does. Dustin will beat him also if changes are not made. Which they won’t. Dustin, although game, and in the mix, will be fed to the floor again. Couple wins here/there then folded in half. Rinse and repeat - Dustin career.
He had some serious vitriol stored up for Gaethje:
Justin, there is no danger in a man that hugs legs, we all know. Try and dance around what the real threat is here all you want.

I am going to fucking butcher you.
Your teeth. I’m going to put them on a fucking necklace.
Speak on my skills as a father?
You are fucking dead.
Don’t ever say you represent the great nation of the United States of America ever again. No true American would speak so highly of, or allow, a convicted member of a Jihadi terror cell represent them.

Never Forget!
You are a fucking blind fool, and I am going to finish the job.
You know where this is leading...McGregor then went off on rival Khabib Nurmagomedov:
Khabib you absolute embarrassment. Scurrying, hiding rat as usual. As I have said many times. As has been seen many times. Through the pane of glass it was confirmed what was always known.
— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 11, 2020
“No comment” lol.
An embarrassment to real fighting.
Then he made it known that once he was done beating up the lightweights, he'd be headed up to welterweight:
After this division demolition job.

It is 170lbs.
McGregor was clearly fired up Monday. Now let's see what kind of matchup the UFC and Dana White can make to get him back fighting. MMA fans demand it.
