Conor McGregor goads Tyson Fury over potential fight in foul-mouthed message

Conor McGregor has mocked Tyson Fury, joking that the heavyweight champion "says a lot of things" amid his feuds with UFC heavyweight champions Francis Ngannou and Jon Jones.

The former lightweight and featherweight UFC champion has had an up-and-down relationship with boxing icon Fury over the past few years, at times showing respect while other times taking aim at the fighter. And while he did joke that he "loves" the heavyweight during a recent chat, he also pondered the thought that he may turn his back on a promise to step in the octagon.

Fury is infamous for his grandiose promises, which rarely come to fruition and often times are the exact opposite of what ends up happening. And in 2019, while preparing for his rematch with Deontay Wilder, he explained that he would like to compete in the UFC, subsequently calling out multiple champions including most recently Ngannou and Jones.
