‘Watch when I come back’ – Conor McGregor vows to fight ’embarrassing s***-stain’ Islam Makhachev ahead of UFC return
UFC mega star Conor McGregor has vowed to s**t-stain Islam Makhachev when he makes his comeback.
The Irishman has been out of the octagon since suffering a horror leg break against Dustin Poirier last July.
McGregor, 33, has made a lightning recovery and is already eyeing up a return.
He told lightweight champion Charles Oliveira to wait until July to set up a title fight.
But the Brazilian is currently expected to defend the belt against Justin Gaethje in May.
Dagestani fighter Makhachev, friend of McGregor’s old rival Khabib Nurmagomedov, also happens to be in the title picture after his TKO victory over late replacement Bobby Green last weekend.
McGregor, however, was far from impressed with that win – and opened the door to fighting the ‘s**t-stain’… who he says he would beat ‘no sweat’.
McGregor said on Twitter: “I’ll fight that s*** stain [Makhachev], no sweat. Embarrassing [ground and pound] the other night [in my opinion]. Pitiful punching.”

McGregor’s Twitter rant didn’t stop there.
Referencing Makhachev’s offer to fight Rafael Dos Anjos, he continued: “And then bottles the [dos Anjos] fight after mouthing of him lol.
“Embarrassing. Watch when I come back. Same as before. Anyone. Any weight. Anywhere. Game full of s*** stains.”
McGregor also took to Twitter to express his interest in buying Chelsea, who were put up for sale by Russian owner Roman Abramovich.
He quipped: “I hereby put forward my offer of £1.5bn.”
