Ex-UFC champion tells "horrible" Conor McGregor he "makes him sick"

Conor McGregor's rival and fellow two-weight world champion Henry Cejduo has slammed the Irishman as "horrible", declaring that he "makes him sick".

Cejudo is managed by Ali Abdelaziz, who also takes care of Khabib Nurmagomedov's career and is one of McGregor's biggest adversaries. As such, the relationship between the two former double champions has never been good, with the duo often going back-and-forth on social media in heated exchanges where Cejudo will criticise his rival's technique.

McGregor has previously branded Cejudo, an Olympic gold medalist in wrestling before winning and defending belts at flyweight and bantamweight in the UFC, a "novice". They have also discussed a possible fight, with Cejudo bulking up two divisions to go lightweight, although the Irishman laughed off the suggestion when Mirror Fighting put it to him in April.
