It is not the best time to be Conor McGregor in the fighting world. The Notorious One has been catching hell from everyone around him after his ankle injury at UFC 264. One of them is his former rival, Rafael Dos Anjos.

After this injury, RDA did not waste any time to get back his revenge.
Conor and RDA were scheduled to fight for a lightweight bout in 2016 at UFC 196 but the fight was canceled after the champion announced that his foot was broken.

RDA asks Conor McGregor to “humble up”

Both the fighters have had a lot of banter over the years.
