Conor McGregor demands UFC rule change to stop fighters' "ridiculous" habit

Conor McGregor has demanded that UFC fighters should be deducted a point for spitting or snotting in the octagon.

Former two-weight champion McGregor, 34, proposed the rule change after last weekend's fight between Marlon Vera and Cory Sandhagen. Both fighters blew their snot on the canvas at the end of the fourth, something that disgusted McGregor in a now-deleted tweet. 'Notorious' feels so strongly about the topic that he called for the UFC to enforce a new rule change.

“There should be no spitting or snot rockets permitted in the octagon whatsoever," McGregor tweeted. "Should be a point deduction. One gollier of a spit and two snot rockets each nostril just now from both fighters at the end of the 4th. It’s a ridiculous habit some people have. It should be abolished via threat of point deduction.”
