Conor McGregor advised to follow three trashing-talking rules by UFC legend

UFC legend Tito Ortiz has laid out his trash-talking rules to Conor McGregor, advising him to not lie, insult a person's family or country.

McGregor, 34, has been criticised in recent months for badmouthing fighters and fans on social media as he continues to recover from the leg break he suffered in his last fight. The former two-weight champion recently rowed with Michael Bisping, welcoming a war with the Brit after he told McGregor to have his bodyguards with him the next time they cross paths.

Trash-talk is a common feature in the lead-up to any of McGregor's fights, but he's been accused of crossing a line having previously insulted former opponent Dustin Poirier's wife and Khabib Nurmagomedov's religion. Ortiz thinks that more often that, McGregor goes too far when badmouthing his opponents and he should tone down his trash-talk.
