Conor McGregor slams the entire lightweight division in his latest tweet ahead of UFC 246

Conor McGregor became the first man to hold two different weight-class titles at the same time by thrashing out the lightweight belt from Eddie Alvarez at the main event of UFC 205 on November 13, 2016. However, his last fight at 155 lbs did not go well as he was forced to submit to Khabib Nurmagomedov’s rear-naked choke in a highly anticipated title fight at UFC 229. He is ready to make his return but in the welterweight unit (170 lbs) and the former double champion wasted no time in taking a dig at the lightweight (155 lbs) division.
