Following Justin Gaethje’s win over Tony Ferguson, Conor McGregor went on a tirade. The Irishman verbally bashed Ferguson for his performance against Gaethje. He also belittled Ali Abdelaziz – the manager of Khabib and Justin.
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.

In his following tweet, Conor predicted how the lightweight division will unfold in the future and trashed former opponent, 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.— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 11, 2020

Kamaru Usman comes to Khabib Nurmagomedov’s aid
Khabib Nurmagomedov submitted Conor in their match in 2018. The fight was a humiliating loss for Conor. Not only was he submitted but he was mauled on the ground. Since then, McGregor has been rallying for a rematch. He has taken every possible step to make sure that he gets his rematch as soon as possible.
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.
“No comment” lol.
An embarrassment to real fighting.— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 11, 2020

Usman, who is also under the management of Ali Abdelaziz, posted a video of Conor getting bested on the ground.

After conquering the lightweight division, McGregor plans to move up to welterweight. He wants to claim his third belt at 170 lbs. And if Usman is still the champion, we could see these two fighters clash in the future.
