🚨 Conor McGregor escalates feud with Ireland’s next MMA superstar

Posted by

Conor McGregor has taken aim at promising MMA prospect, Paul Hughes.

Hughes, 27, lost to PFL lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov in Dubai last weekend but won plaudits for his performance.

Hughes showed huge respect to the Nurmagomedov family post-fight and was seen on camera saying to Khabib, “I’m not like this other guy [McGregor].”

Safe to say ‘The Notorious’ wasn’t impressed with his comments and he launched a social media attack on Hughes.

In a now-deleted post to X, McGregor said the following:

“Get that flag off you, you little know what you are c*** from up there.”

Hughes responded:

‘@TheNotoriousMMA always said u were the goat, payed homage at every opportunity.

But coming at my Irish identity just shows where your head is at.’

Later on, McGregor, was still firing shots… literally.

McGregor hasn’t fought since July 2021 when he suffered a broken leg in his fight with Dustin Poirier.

‘The Notorious’ was set to make his eagerly anticipated return to the cage last year against Michael Chandler, but a toe injury forced the Irishman out of the contest.
