UFC 266: Alex Volkanovski says Conor McGregor ‘sounds like he’s drunk’ with tweet – ‘good on him, so am I’
- UFC featherweight champ laughs off McGregor’s attempt at an insult after thrilling win over Brian Ortega
- Henry Cejudo also calls out ‘Alexander the Average’ but Volkanovski says ‘I’ll squash the little germ’
Conor McGregor, as is his wont, was quick to tweet about the events of a dramatic UFC 266 card on Saturday night, including giving his thoughts on Alex Volkanovski’s thrilling decision win over Brian Ortega.
“Not a bad fight, congrats shartsy,” the Irishman wrote on Twitter, in an apparent dig.
The former featherweight champ’s comment was put to the current one at the post-event press conference in Las Vegas, and the Australian couldn’t help but smile.
“I heard about it, it sounds like he’s on the p***. Good on him, so am I, I will be too,” Volkanovski said, having arrived for his interview clutching a can of beer.
“Something about sharting or farting or something, doesn’t really make sense. Yeah it’s Conor, man. Conor doing Conor things, good on him. I don’t know if he wants to come back down to 145 [pounds], obviously that’ll never happen.”
It was suggested by a member of the media that Volkanovski being brought up in same breath as McGregor on the official pay-per-view broadcast as the only two men to beat both Jose Aldo and Max Holloway may have irked “The Notorious”.
