      Conor McGregor slams ‘fat fool’ Daniel Cormier as UFC legend says his next fight would be in UFC and not Manny Pacquiao

      by

      CONOR McGREGOR called Daniel Cormier a ‘fat fool’ – as the UFC legend says he will fight in the UFC next and NOT Manny Pacquiao.
      McGregor had leaked private messages with UFC president Dana White, where he can be seen demanding several fights.

      But Cormier, 41, questioned why the Irishman did not fill in for Khabib Nurmagomedov, 32, who pulled out of fighting Tony Ferguson, 36, in May.
      McGregor, 32, responded: “I asked for May you fat fool, what you saying?
      “I fought in January and tried to go again but was purposely held back to be an alternate for a July fight.
      “Wait 7 whole f***ing months and “maybe” I’d get to fight? Are you stupid? What are you saying mate? I asked for May vs ANYONE!”

      It comes after McGregor announced he would be boxing Manny Pacquiao, 41, in the Middle East.
      Cormier again risked the wrath of The Notorious – who lost his boxing debut against Floyd Mayweather in 2017 – after DC said he could not beat PacMan.
      Cormier told ESPN: “I think that he’ll build a great fight with Manny.
      “I think it will be interesting, I think it will be intriguing to see whether or not he can compete at that level.

      “Do I think he can? No, I think it’s a dangerous fight for him because Manny is so powerful.
      “(McGregor) and Floyd fought at a very leisurely pace early, I don’t think Pacquiao has that ability, he’s going to go out there and try and knock his head off.”
      The former heavyweight champion also predicted McGregor would come to terms with the UFC, cancelling the bout against Pacquiao, and will next fight in the octagon.
      Cormier continued: “I think he’ll fight mixed martial arts, I do.
      “I believe they’ll get it worked out. He’s such a good mixed martial artist, he’s such a great fighter.
      “I think he’ll that fight where he’s going to find the most success and I think that’s in mixed martial arts.”

      UFC legend Jon Jones rumoured to be boxing Brit Chi Lewis-Parry on undercard of Conor McGregor clash with Manny Pacquiao

      by

      JON JONES is in rumoured talks to make his boxing debut on the undercard of Conor McGregor vs Manny Pacquiao.
      It is claimed Jones is negotiating a deal to fight British heavyweight Chi Lewis-Parry, who is unbeaten in his nine bouts in the cage.

      The pair – who have a storied past – would both be boxing for the first time.
      Siju Roseje, Lewis-Parry’s manager, said: “Chi is quite rightly rising quickly up the ranks in terms of the opponents he’s facing because his undefeated record and convincing victories speak for themselves.
      “It’s a very exciting prospect that a fight with Jon Jones in the company of Conor McGregor is on the table.
      “We hope the British public will continue to get behind Lewis-Parry as he is fast approaching the big time.”

      McGregor, 32, and Pacquiao, 41, both confirmed they are close to agreeing a deal to fight in the Middle East.
      The lucrative super-fight is targeted for December or January.
      SunSport understands Jones, 33, and Lewis-Parry, 37, would be the co-headliner, with talks still ongoing.
      Lewis-Parry, a 6ft 10in kickboxing veteran, is a former training partner of ex-UFC champion Daniel Cormier, 41.

      The Brit powerhouse helped DC prepare to fight Jones in 2016, which fuelled a rivalry between them.
      Lewis-Parry even confronted the light-heavyweight legend at a BodyPower health and fitness event in Birmingham last year.
      Jones vacated the light-heavyweight belt in August to move up and challenge heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic, 38.
      But he had threatened to switch to boxing earlier in the year following a public fall out with the UFC.
      Jones was forced to deny claims made by UFC president Dana White, who said the American wanted £25million to move up and face Francis Ngannou, 34.
      At the time, he tweeted: “I’d probably make more in my first boxing match than my next three UFC fights combined.”

      Conor McGregor back boxing sparring as Manny Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach predicts UFC star will be destroyed

      by

      CONOR McGREGOR revealed he is back sparring for his boxing return against Manny Pacquiao – after being warned he is facing a hiding.
      Both the Irishman and Pacquiao revealed they are in talks to fight in the Middle East.

      Ahead of his second pro boxing bout, McGregor, 32, shared pictures of what appears to be a sparring as well as a strength and conditioning session.
      He captioned the post: “A good days work today on the program.”
      McGregor made his boxing debut in 2017, losing to Floyd Mayweather, 43, in the second richest fight of all time.
      And his return to the ring is targeted for December or January.

      Pacquiao’s long-time trainer Freddie Roach reacted to the news by insisting the Filipino icon would beat McGregor easier than he did against Ricky Hatton.
      Hatton was brutally knocked out by PacMan in round two of their 2008 world title fight.
      McGregor responded to Roach’s comments in an Instagram post, where he revealed regret for not breaking the rules against Mayweather by using an MMA strike on the American legend.

      “Manny not so much tho I don’t think, but I will see how the build up goes and wait to hear what bitter old Freddie Roach has to say and then make a decision.”
      The UFC are believed to be on board in the negotiations for McGregor to box Pacquiao.
      With Khabib Nurmagomedov, 31, facing Justin Gaethje in a unification next month, they hope The Notorious can return next year to face the winner.
      McGregor’s head coach John Kavanagh was asked why the former UFC champion would be boxing 41-year-old Pacquiao next.
      Kavanagh responded: “HUGE pay day, incredible experience in with another legend, athletically focused…plus it’ll be fun.”

      Conor McGregor launches astonishing attack on UFC claiming Dana White ‘held him back for SEVEN months’ from fighting

      by

      CONOR McGREGOR lashed out at the UFC again after insisting he was ‘held back’ from fighting for SEVEN months.
      It came just days after Irishman explained he would return to the boxing ring to face Manny Pacquiao having been frozen out of the UFC picture.

      McGregor had posted direct messages with Dana White where he demanded fights in February, May and August with Justin Gaethje and veteran Diego Sanchez named opponents.
      But he believes the UFC instead wanted him to be a potential replacement for International Fight Week in July – seven months after his win against Donald Cerrone.
      Former heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier questioned why McGregor did not agree to stand in as a replacement for Khabib Nurmagomedov, who pulled out of fighting Tony Ferguson in May.
      McGregor, 32, responded: “I asked for May you fat fool, what you saying?

      “I fought in January and tried to go again but was purposely held back to be an alternate for a July fight.
      “Wait 7 whole f***ing months and “maybe” I’d get to fight? Are you stupid? What are you saying mate? I asked for May vs ANYONE!
      “I asked for all these fights on February the 13th!! Corona didn’t exist.

      “I was held back to wait it out to be an alternate for a fight many months away. There’s no other way to see this.”
      McGregor had initially planned to stay prepared to fill in for either Nurmagomedov, 31, or Ferguson, 36.
      But White claimed he was offered the chance after champion Khabib was unable to travel to the US, with Gaethje, 31, instead going on to win the interim belt.
      McGregor hit back: “While then thrown under the bus saying that I turned down a fight with Tony after khabib had bottled it.
      “Lol at that one. The deciphering abilities of people in this business absolutely baffles me!
      “It’s clear as f***ing day!”

      White claimed McGregor broke the ‘man code’ by releasing private messages.
      But The Notorious believes he was wronged first after the promoted said he backed out of replacing Nurmagomedov.
      White then went on to say he had ‘no idea’ about McGregor boxing Pacquiao, 41, in the Middle East.
      McGregor responded: “You have been involved in Manny talks the legal letters are there. Stop lying.”
      It is understood the UFC are on board with the former two-division champion facing Pacquiao in either December or January.
      They then hope he can return to the Octagon to face the winner between Nurmagomedov and Gaethje, who fight in October.

      Conor McGregor threatens to give Pacquiao a ‘volley’ in the face after failing to kick Floyd Mayweather’s head off

      by

      CONOR McGREGOR has ranted that Floyd Mayweather ‘deserved a volley to the head’ when the pair fought in 2017 – but is ‘undecided’ as to whether or not to break the rules when he fights against Manny Pacquiao.
      The Notorious split fans when he revealed that he’ll be making his fighting return in the boxing ring rather than the octagon, facing the Filipino legend in December or January.

      After gushing over his pride in landing a clean first blow against Mayweather, McGregor, 32, then admitted that he wishes he’d taken his head off.
      He posted on Instagram: “Really I should have just sat right thru that shot and took his head off and f*** the distance.
      “If it didn’t work out just give him a good boot into the neck and get DQ’d and fined and who’d give a f***.
      “I’m upset I fully followed the rules for that fight to be honest. Floyd deserved a volley at the least. A shoulder even, break the face.

      “Manny not so much tho I don’t think, but I will see how the build up goes and wait to hear what bitter old Freddie Roach has to say and then make a decision. My Whiskeys at half a b and climbing I could take a fine.”
      Just prior to revealing his bout with Pacquiao will take place in the Middle East, McGregor had again expressed his frustration with the UFC at keeping him sidelined during most of 2020, after he’d made a winning start to the year against Donald Cerrone at UFC 246 in January.
      He tweeted: “I was pushing hard for the season.
      “Multiple opponents, multiple dates offered throughout. All to take place back to back.

      “Then when covid hit and the talk was that I would have to wait for crowds again, I walked away from the situation. I was waiting long enough at that stage.”
      And he has again hit out, calling the decision to ‘hold him back’ as ‘borderline criminal’.
      He continued: “I’d rather fight MMA anyway not sure why I’ve been held back like this, it’s borderline criminal at this stage.
      “The biggest number generator in the game asking for four fights since February this year and getting left on seen. It’s pretty f***ed up when I keep thinking of it. I’ve been right here this whole time.

      Mayweather and McGregor’s 2017 bout sold 4.3million pay-per-views – making it the second highest-selling fight of all time.
      And the Irishman also dominates the UFC’s top ten highest PPVs, with his 2018 comeback against Khabib Nurmagomedov the promotion’s biggest-selling bout ever.

      CONOR McGREGOR’S coach and good friend John Kavanagh has confirmed the fight with Manny Pacquiao has been “agreed”.
      On Friday night the UFC legend released a series of tweets claiming he will box Pacquiao in the Middle East.

      Then the Filipino confirmed he will fight the Irishman in a sensational clash.
      It left boxing fans hoping the two sporting greats were serious about the mouthwatering match-up.
      And according to McGregor’s MMA coach Kavanagh, the deal has been done.
      Speaking to Boxing Productions TV, the Irishman said: “I do know it’s in the works.

      “I believe both boxers have agreed fundamentally, behind the scenes there are a lot of terms and conditions and legal teams and managers to work out the fine details but I believe it will happen.
      “I think it might be early next year but the wheels are in the motion and it looks like I’ll be coaching boxing again.
      “I’ll play a part but it will be mostly Owen and Phil Sutcliffe, Conor’s long-time boxing coach from Crumlin Boxing. The bulk of the work will be done with those guys but I always have a hand in there.”
      McGregor – who recently showed off his extreme new look with a shaved head – was trying to arrange a return fight in MMA following his retirement announcement in June – his third in four years.

      But the talks apparently fizzled out and McGregor – recently urged to return to the octagon by rival Justin Gaethje – later tweeted: “Anyway all water under the bridge who gives a fook. I’m boxing Manny Pacquiao next in the Middle East.”
      “It will be a true honour to have faced two of the greatest boxers of the modern era, afraid of a fight.”
      McGregor previously fought Floyd Mayweather under Queensberry Rules in 2017, and was stopped in the tenth round.
      He has been eyeing another dabble into boxing for some time now despite that defeat.
      Pacquaio, 41 – known as Pac Man – has now accepted the Irishman’s challenge.

      A senator in his native country, he says cash from this fight will go towards the relief effort in the Philippines after Covid-19.
      A statement from Pacquiao’s office read: “For the sake of all the Filipino Covid-19 victims, Senator Manny Pacquiao will be fighting UFC superstar Conor McGregor next year.
      “The huge portion of his earnings will proceed to those who are affected nationwide by the pandemic.”
      Both men have previously fought Floyd Mayweather.
      The Pac Man previously took on ‘Money’ in 2015 in one of the biggest-grossing PPV fights in history.
      But this was also one of the worst PPV fights ever, with the Filipino struggling to to get anywhere near his best form.

      Floyd Mayweather rematch with Manny Pacquiao targeted by Saudi Arabian investors after Conor McGregor’s boxing return

      by

      SAUDI ARABIAN money men are reportedly trying to persuade Floyd Mayweather to rematch Manny Pacquiao in the Middle East.
      Mayweather outpointed Pacquiao in 2015 in what still stands as the richest fight in history.

      And according to World Boxing News, Saudi chiefs want to cash in on a second instalment.
      It would come five years after their initial fight, the exact time frame it took the rivals to eventually agree terms to meet in the ring.
      Mayweather, 43, retired in 2017 after beating former UFC champion Conor McGregor, 32, in ten rounds.
      He would then return a year later to stop featherweight kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in a Japanese exhibition.

      But last November the American legend announced he was ‘coming out of retirement in 2020’ and would work with UFC president Dana White to do so.
      It fuelled speculation he could rematch Irishman McGregor, having admitted he had no interest in facing Pacquiao, 41, again.
      But instead Mayweather’s two most lucrative opponents appear close to finalising a deal to fight each other.
      Both McGregor and Pacquiao revealed they are in talks to box in December or January.
