McGregor made a statement about the fight with Makhachev

Former UFC champion in two weight divisions Conor McGregor has no doubt that he can deal with the top lightweight Islam Makhachev. The Irishman deliberately distorted the name of the Russian, criticizing his boxing skills.

"I'll beat that shitty Makchavic, don't hesitate. Any day or night. His punches look pathetic. Look, when I return - I will be the same as before.

Anyone. In any weight. Anywhere. Our industry is full of shitty spots," McGregor tweeted.

Recall that last year McGregor suffered two defeats by technical knockout from Dustin Poirier.
