Conor McGregor, the former UFC lightweight champion, is known for his trolling nature in the promotion. McGregor’s trash-talk skills were something that caught the eyes of fans during his initial days. Anyone who has faced him in the UFC has got a taste of his mental game in the lead-up to the fight. One such example is the former interim lightweight champion, Dustin Poirier. McGregor even took things too far and involved Poirier’s wife in the trash talk before the fight. Now, ‘The Notorious’ is making headlines for his next fight with former Bellator champion Michael Chandler.

Given the persona of both the lightweight combatants, there will surely be heavy trash talk in the build-up to the fight. McGregor might not have started it yet. But his fans have already begun to mock Chandler. However, they might have crossed the line recently.
