Conor McGregor has criticised "pigeon brain" Jorge Masvidal as their fiery UFC rivalry continued on social media.
The Irishman has not fought since breaking his leg during his defeat by Dustin Poirier last year, but has been subject to a fresh call-out from Masvidal at 170lb. 'Gamebred' came up short against bitter foe Colby Covington earlier this year but is now eyeing a return to title contention.
Masvidal this week protested his innocence after he was arrested following an alleged assault on Covington in a restaurant in Miami in March. “I come from a different place than many people and we walk differently in that place,” Masvidal told ESPN Deportes. “I am not going to let anyone disrespect my family. I can’t talk much because I’m being charged with three felonies. I can only say that I am innocent.”
