Conor McGregor reacts to UFC 280 main event, trades insults with Ben Askren and Ali Abdelaziz

Another major lightweight title fight is in the books and Conor McGregor is back at it – tweeting, that is.

Following Islam Makchachev’s title-earning UFC 280 main event victory Saturday in Abu Dhabi, McGregor posted a series of tweets directed at the promotion’s newest champion.

Not only was McGregor critical of Makhachev’s second-round submission performance against Charles Oliveira, he indicated he has the tools to defeat the Russian champion if the two fighters go head-to-head.

The statements attracted the attention of notable figures from around the MMA world, including manager Ali Abdelaziz and former UFC welterweight Ben Asken among others.
