Conor McGregor takes a dig at Harry Styles over singer's bold outfit at Grammy Awards

UFC star Conor McGregor has taken a dig at Harry Styles' bold outfit choice at the Grammy Awards.

McGregor has become known for his outbursts on social media, and his latest mocking post on Twitter was aimed at Harry Styles.

The former One-Direction star, who has since gone solo, was present at the high-profile Grammy awards ceremony in Los Angeles this week where he won the coveted best album award.

Gracing the red carpet at the Grammys, Styles wore a multi-coloured sleeveless singlet with flared legs, which attracted the attention of Conor McGregor on social media.

When asked by a fan what Styles' latest fashion choice reminded him of, McGregor replied: "Freestyle wrestling haha."

In freestyle wrestling, fighters regularly wore singlets without sleeves bearing an open chest.

McGregor's comments have upset Styles' fandom following around the world, who criticised the MMA star on social media.

McGregor announced his comeback will take place against Michael Chandler in September after the UFC's latest instalment of The Ultimate Fighter.

The pair will coach a team of fighters in opposing camps, before renewing their battle themselves in the octagon.

Chandler has broken his silence since the news was announced, and is hugely excited to get his opportunity at handing another blow to the promotion's biggest star.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Chandler said: "Conor is the fight that I wanted, he has expressed interest in wanting to fight me and now here we are,"

"The competition starts right now. We're going to be stuck together in the same city for a month, or month and a half, but the competition is 24/7 the entire time.

“I want to win this thing; I don't want to beat Conor later this year, I want to beat Conor badly on TUF. I don't even want him to win a fight.”

Chandler added: "I cannot wait, this is something that I have wanted to do forever. I've wanted to take off the fighter cap and put on the coaching cap, to usher these young men and women into the opportunity of a lifetime. I get the opportunity to coach a handful of them, so now we build the hype and competition."
