Conor McGregor asks Sergio Ramos to ‘stay ready’ after Real Madrid ace calls him out

Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos and UFC megastar Conor McGregor got involved in yet another friendly back-and-forth. The two have exchanged pleasantries on multiple occasions on social media, but are yet to come in close proximity to each other in real life.

While Sergio Ramos is recovering from his injury, Conor McGregor is training to make his much-awaited MMA return against Dustin Poirier at UFC 257 on January 2021. The two lightweights have clashed with each other in the past at UFC 178 where The Notorious One knocked Poirier out in the first round to win the featherweight match. Conor McGregor last fought Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone in a welterweight bout at UFC 246, which he won in under 40 seconds.

After Poirier, McGregor is rumoured to fight Manny Pacquiao in the Middle East. The two will collide in an exhibition bout with a huge portion of the fight’s earnings going to charity.
