Tony Ferguson warns Conor McGregor ‘I’m coming after you’ after Notorious’ trolling over brutal UFC 274 KO
TONY FERGUSON has sent a chilling warning Conor McGregor's way after getting wind of his lightweight rival's recent taunt.
McGregor went on a tweeting spree after seeing the former interim 155lb champion knocked out by Michael Chandler at UFC 274.
It didn't take long for Ferguson to notice McGregor's barrage of taunts - in which he likened his face to a McDonald's chicken nugget.
And fired-up El Cucuy said: “Ahhh, there’s my b****. “Next time tag me p****.
"Comin’ after you and your crew. McNugget stays with you, fake, can’t take [what’s not yours] anymore, thief.
"Still got no sauce and no balls, McNuggets.

"I’ll see you and your crew soon, coming after your gold leprechaun.”
Ferguson and McGregor have had several back-and-forths on social media over the years.
The pair used to both be represented by Paradigm Sports Management but Ferguson parted ways with them in 2019 as he didn't believe they had his best interests at heart.
Ferguson was also angered by McGregor reportedly breaking his promise not to pursue the lightweight crown upon his signing for Paradigm, who he joined when he was competing as a featherweight.
