“On sight!” The drunk Conor McGregor calls on the UFC champ to fight

Conor McGregor has been on everyone's lips since his planned fight with Michael Chandler fell through.

“The Notorious” is without an opponent after numerous delays and rumors, and although Chandler claims the fight is still possible, the Irish star’s fighting future doesn’t look bright.

One of the most recent slights against McGregor came from featherweight champion Ilia Topuria, who noted that he wasn't important enough to fight right now.

“…There are bigger fights than him,” Topuria said Ibai Llanos on September 24th. “…He is not the McGregor who moved the masses; he is a McGregor who is more into alcohol and drugs than sport.”

Topuria's words hit home when a drunken McGregor was tipped off about a fight with “El Matador” during a recent Duelbits livestream.

“How do you think you would beat Illy-Illia Abturo, Topturo?” McGregor read aloud a fan question about Ilia Topuria. “I would grab him by the scruff of the neck and cut his little nose off, yes. The little thing of a thing that he is, yes.”

McGregor was clearly outraged by Topuria's comments and continued to challenge him for a fight at BKFC Spain on October 12th.

“…You little idiot, I’m going to smash your head in,” scolded McGregor. “You short ass, I’ll knock your jaw in.” At first glance! … I'll be in Marbella, Spain at Bareknuckle on October 12th. …See what happens, yeah, see what happens when you get in my way, brother.”

A match between McGregor and Topuria would undoubtedly be a smart move. Both fighters have huge appeal in the European market, while McGregor's influence in the US would make it a real superfight.

The complication of Topuria holding the title could be a hurdle, but the rules tend to change when McGregor's name is involved.
