One of the greatest performances in Professional Boxing this was. I landed more shots on Floyd than Canelo.
I’d love another go. https://t.co/Abfx7Pcpze— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) October 17, 2023
Well clearly Canelo was not impressed with ‘The Notorious” post and fired back at the UFC legend.
I just need one hand with you and I don’t need to throw so many punches 🤣 https://t.co/Iq8GQ1nI3L

It didn’t take long for things to escalate and McGregor took to threatening the pound for pound boxing star, writing:
‘Saul you uncooked chicken, I’ll stomp the ligaments out of your knee joint. I don’t even need hands to end you, I’ll kick you raw pink, leave you looking like you were left out in the sun too long haha freckle arse. I will see you and we will see. Canelo is a cornflake, no sugar.’
