'Madman' McGregor threatens to punch his colleague in the jaw.

Conor McGregor appeared in a live stream to challenge and threaten Ilia Topuria, sparking speculation about a future fight between the two fighters.

Conor McGregor has always been very good at using media stunts.

"You little brat, I'll smash your jaw the moment I see you," the Irish fighter challenged Ilia Topuria on social media. Topuria has not yet responded to McGregor's provocation.

In early 2024, Topuria became the youngest current UFC champion after winning the featherweight title at the age of 27. Because of this, McGregor wanted to challenge the rising star to gain attention. Many hoped that in the future, "The Notorious" (McGregor's nickname) and Topuria could create one of the most exciting fights in MMA history.

McGregor has always been known for his bombastic rhetoric in the media. He once challenged top fighter Michael Chandler, promising a fight in June. However, McGregor's highly anticipated fight did not happen, after the Irish fighter suffered an injury just before the scheduled match.

McGregor hasn't competed since July 2021, when he suffered an ankle injury and then lost to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. The Irish fighter has a record of 22 wins and 6 losses, has won both the featherweight and lightweight titles in the UFC, and was the first UFC fighter to hold championships in two weight classes simultaneously.

McGregor is also the most talked-about fighter in the UFC. The 35-year-old star was ranked by Forbes as the world's highest-earning athlete in 2021, with $180 million .

In August 2017, McGregor had a famous boxing match against "The Undefeated" Floyd Mayweather. Despite losing, McGregor still earned $100 million .
