Conor McGregor hits out at "biggest nobody in the UFC" as rivalry builds

Conor McGregor has hit out at top UFC lightweight Beneil Dariush, branding the Iranian fighter the "biggest nobody in the company".

Dariush is currently ranked No.6 in the promotion's 155lb rankings, two spots above McGregor, and is riding a seven-fight winning streak. However, that didn't stop the Irishman from having a dig at his credibility as a contender, declaring the California-based fighter attracts very little fan interest.

And Dariush is one fighter frustrated by the prospect of the Irishman returning to massive fights, including a possible shot at the lightweight title.
