Conor McGregor recently sounded off on Ilia Topuria after the latter's latest comments. The Irishman appears to have taken offense as he issued a warning to 'El Matador' should their paths cross in the future.
'The Notorious' has been a target of many, which is understandable because of his popularity in the sport. Meanwhile, Topuria has been among those who have both taken a jibe and expressed interest in fighting him. However, the featherweight champion's latest comments appear to have struck a nerve as he changed his stance and claimed that McGregor isn't on the same level that he once was.
During his latest Duelbits live stream, the former two-division UFC champion blasted 'El Matador' and answered what would transpire if they ever fought. McGregor diminished Topuria as an opponent and mentioned that their fight wouldn't even need to take place in the octagon:
