Conor McGregor has now been out of the MMA ring for more than a year. But with the UFC 280 turning out to be a huge success, McGregor once again used his Twitter fingers to post about this event. Islam Makhachev went on to defeat Charles Oliveira in the main event of the UFC 280 crowning himself the new ‘Lightweight Champion’ of the UFC. His win over Oliveira came via the ‘Dagestani’ signature, ‘tap-out’. ‘Mystic Mac’ took to Twitter as he felt he could be able to stop Makhachev.

His tweets also got him into a keyboard war with the manager of Nurmagomedov and Makhachev, ‘Ali Abdelaziz’. He was enraged by McGregor’s comments on Nurmagomedov’s late father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov.

In a series of now-deleted tweets, McGregor mentioned how he had now figured out the way to fight this “ground-dominating” style of fighting. He stated, “I have built all the tools to beat this style now vs b4. Face breaking shots from clinch and baby brain batter shots from bottom.” He also said that he was equipped with “steel left leg” and a “Canon back hand”.

Clearly, McGregor was of the opinion that Nurmagomedov need to keep fighting in order to complete his father’s dreams. Instead, he chose to run away from the Octagon in his prime. ‘The Notorious’ showed his well-known audacity in his tweets.
