It seems like everyone and their dog called out former two-division champion Conor McGregor at UFC 274.
Conor McGregor Responds to Callouts Following UFC 274
Both Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler called the Irish bad boy out following their victories on Saturday night. McGregor was quick to respond, and also had some fine words for Tony Ferguson after being knocked out by Chandler.
McGregor took to Twitter and you can see his responses to the callouts below.
Charles Oliveira
Following Oliveira’s first-round submission victory over Justin Gaethje, he made it clear who he wanted next in his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan.
“Hey, Conor McGregor,” Oliveira said. “Are you coming up or are you going to run away?”
McGregor immediately took to Twitter.
“I’m not sure I wish to cut the weight. I am really enjoying being built like a refrigerator. I feel I want to fight at this size just to watch it back lol. But I’d love to fight the Brazilian, 100%! I love Brazil and I’m unbeaten against Brazil. All KO’s. I’ve some thinking to do.”
Michael Chandler
Michael Chandler had one of the greatest knockouts of all time on Saturday night, as he put his foot to Tony Ferguson’s face, dropping him to the canvas in the second round of their lightweight battle.
When the 36-year-old spoke with Joe Rogan, he had a very WWE-esque speech that had everyone listening, including McGregor.
“Conor McGregor, you have to come back and fight somebody,” Chandler said in his post-fight speech. “I am the most entertaining lightweight on the planet, but I’ll up the stakes, Conor. I want you at your biggest. I want you at your baddest and at your best. You and me at 170 this summer, this fall, this winter. Holla at your boy.”
It didn’t take long for McGregor to respond.
“I’d have a nice knock off this guy, no doubt about it,” McGregor wrote on Twitter. “A firework spectacle. I like the 170 shout also. Tipped him over. I’m definitely game to fight this guy at some stage in my career. I see it happening after tonight. Congrats on a solid win Michael and another barnstormer.”
Tony Ferguson
McGregor even poked fun at one of the most devastating moments in recent UFC history. The former interim lightweight champion, Tony Ferguson had his face obliterated in the second round by Michael Chandler.
The 33-year-old, McGregor once again took to Twitter to throw a knockout shot of his own.
“Tony had some great nuggets in the media build up. Then he got punt kicked to the chin and got turned into a nugget himself. That’s crazy.”
“If you pulled that out of a McDonald’s bag you’d dip it in sauce and eat without a moments thought. No doubt. That would pass as a legit @McDonalds chicken nugget. That’s Crazy!”
