UFC superstar Conor McGregor’s streaming debut was as wild as you would expect.
On Monday, the former dual-weight UFC champion went live on Kick to play casino games and interact with fans as part of his new partnership with Duelbits.
Naturally, he was asked for his opinions on a bunch of fighters, and he didn’t shy away from letting everyone know how he feels about his UFC colleagues.
Six MMA stars received a verbal beatdown from Conor McGregor, who also used his new platform to rip into two big names from the social media world.
The Irishman’s most explosive rant was aimed at Khabib Nurmagomedov, who recently denied reports that he owes £3 million to the Russian government.
“Typical rat behaviour,” McGregor said when asked about his rival’s alleged financial troubles.
“Scurrying rat. So, he has bills to pay. We fight for legacy, and he’s got two main events or something in the UFC and he owes his b******s to the Russian government.
“I’m ecstatic and delighted that it’s coming on top of him. We will all welcome him back to the game he has ran from. It’s a rat trap. The rat trap has been set.
“We are excited about that and will see where it goes. We noticed the little rat scurrying on back. We see him back around. Fat rat we call him.”
‘Notorious’ Conor McGregor was slightly nicer about Leon Edwards but he still ripped into the Englishman ahead of his welterweight title defence against Belal Muhammad at UFC 304 in Manchester on July 27.
“There’s too many decisions coming out of that Leon fella,” Conor McGregor added.
“Leon Edwards loves a decision, and he’s fighting another decision guy, Belal. Not great times in the welterweight title picture. 150,000 buys if it’s even a PPV.”
Kamaru Usman, Ilia Topuria, and Alexander Volkanovski also received brutal putdowns from the UFC’s biggest star.
He said: ““F*** Kamaru Usman! He’s a bum. I don’t give a f*** about Usman.”
“Opinions on Topuria? F*** him too. I don’t give a f*** about him either.”
“Thoughts on Volkanovski? No thoughts. F*** him too! I would’ve kicked his head clean off his shoulders and that’s a fact.”
Even non-fighters were targeted by Conor McGregor during his first stream.
The 35-year-old had some not-so-nice things to say about the famous streamer Adin Ross and YouTuber True Geordie, with whom he has previously had beef.
“Do you knock Adin Ross? He was talking s***,” McGregor said while reading fan comments. “I haven’t a clue who the guy is. Not a f***ing iota.”
He added: “Thoughts on True Geordie? F***ing fool. A fat fool. Another nothing, jackass.”
Conor McGregor will return to training after a night of entertaining fans with his wacky opinions.
Michael Chandler will welcome him back from a three-year injury layoff at UFC 303 in Las Vegas on June 29.
