Li Jingliang extended his call-out to Tony Ferguson to five other UFC welterweights, including former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos.

The Chinese welterweight took to Twitter to invite six fighters from the promotion to a barbeque party in March, the same month he intends to fight Tony Ferguson in.

Jingliang posted a picture of himself barbequing skewered meat on the grill with an accompanying caption that mentioned Tim Means, Niko Price, Bryan Barberena, Alex Morono, Rafael dos Anjos, and Tony Ferguson.

"Hey all of you are also invited to the party if you want to come @MeansTim @Nikohybridprice @bryan_barberena @alexmoronomma @RdosAnjosMMA @TonyFergusonXT in March, I can make barbecue for y’all @ufc"

Jingliang recently signed with Ali Abdelaziz's Dominance MMA management in a bid to turn around his inconsistent streak of results. Three losses in his past five fights is a dismal return and the welterweight will look to overturn that.

'The Leech' called out Tony Ferguson for a fight in March and referenced their scheduled fight last year that fell through owing to Khamzat Chimaev's weight-cutting fiasco that shuffled the UFC 279 main card.

He tweeted:

"Hey Tony @TonyFergusonXT I’m bored now it’s too hot in Florida, let’s party. Me and you have unfinished business let’s dance in March, are you ready? Let’s go Champ @DanaWhite @UFC"

Sean O'Malley disapproves of Rafael dos Anjos calling out Conor McGregor

Rafael dos Anjos replied to a tweet from Conor McGregor where the Irishman promised to 'slice through someone' on his return to action in the octagon.

The one-word reply from Dos Anjos read:

"Bombado"

The word loosely translates to "excited" and is understood as an attempt at making a fight happen by the Brazilian. However, No.1 ranked bantamweight contender Sean O'Malley disagreed with Dos Anjos' call-out.

He criticized him on a recent episode of TimboSugarShow and said:

"He definitely looks small, he's definitely a small welterweight but he's so fucking skilled. He called out Conor, it's tricky. You get that little bit of time to make a call-out. Calling out Conor, it just like, that doesn't seem realistic. Conor's not gonna take that fight. RDA's too dangerous."
