Conor McGregor has been accused of copying his pal Dillon Danis in his latest attack on Khabib Nurmagomedov by a former lightweight title challenger.
Al Iaquinta, who Nurmagomedov beat to win the 155lb title and set up his infamous 2018 clash with McGregor, joked that the Irishman was using Danis' tactics in his latest verbal tirade against his old rival. The Irishman took to Twitter on Wednesday night to let out a number of angry messages and claim that he was "chilling" after being choked out in his fight with Nurmagomedov.
McGregor shared a picture of himself slumped against the cage after losing by fourth-round submission in their UFC 229 meeting, which was the biggest fight in MMA history. He captioned it by claiming that he wasn't as badly beaten on the night as it appeared when it was happening.
