Conor McGregor is certainly not one who likes to share the spotlight with others. Hence when Islam Makhchev and Alexander Volkanovski became the talk of the town after UFC 280, McGregor had to put himself at the center of the developing story and he did this with the usual taunt.

Both Makhachev and Volkanovski agreed to settle their differences in Perth, Australia as the company returns to the land down under at UFC 284. Having fulfilled Abdulmanap Nurmagomdeov’s plans to see Makhachev as a champion after Nurmagomedov’s reign, it was a career-high night for the Dagestani clan.

However, McGregor does not let old differences die easy and took potshots at both of them, while still recovering from a broken foot. He took to Twitter to remind everyone that he once held the two belts that Volk and Makhachev hold currently. Posting a picture of the two, he wrote, “My two old belts. On two little ticks. This fight does 10 buys”, alleging that both these fighters did not have the talent to sell a fight.

Fans were not as kind this time around to McGregor’s routine taunt series after big fight nights. In fact, many took the time to remind him that it was he, who was recovering from a broken leg and is doubtful of making a return to the octagon. Recently after Dana White announced that McGregor too will have to wait in line for 6 months after entering the USADA Pool to compete again, it became all the more doubtful that the fighter would ever return.

With a Hollywood career waiting for him around the horizon, MMA Fans were not so kind to McGregor’s taunts-cum-callouts this time around. Here are the best fan reactions to McGregor’s outbursts at Volkanovski and Makhachev
