Conor McGregor has been away from the UFC ring for a long time. The fighter last graced the octagon when he fought against Dustin Poirier in UFC 264.

Welterweight fighter Joaquin Buckley has persistently targeted McGregor for quite some time. In a previous tweet, he mentioned McGregor. Now, once again, Buckley has shared something that might not sit well with combat fans.
