Conor McGregor makes weight boast during tweet-and-delete spree

Conor McGregor has incredibly claimed that he would "smack anyone around" in the UFC up to the light-heavyweight division.

The Notorious is gearing up for his return to the octagon when he faces Michael Chandler later this year. The rivals have just finished filming for The Ultimate Fighter season 31 and the reality TV series will from May to August, with McGregor and Chandler expected to meet in the cage shortly after that, reports The Mirror.

Training is clearly going well for McGregor as he is confident he could beat every fighter in the middleweight division despite having never competed at the weight class. In a now-deleted tweet, the Irishman wrote: “Coupla ten k runs, few rounds sparring, id smack anyone around up to light heavy.”
