UFC superstar Conor McGregor is ready to pull a Floyd Mayweather Jr. The MMA fighter has challenged Tenshin Nasukawa to a bout before the summer.
McGregor raised eyebrows last night (January 6) on Twitter with the unexpected challenge.
I wish to go to Tokyo to face Tenshin Nasukawa in a Mixed Martial Arts exhibition bout.
Before this summer.
Please arrange this, this instant.
Yours sincerely
The champ champ. @ufc @ParadigmSM— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) January 7, 2019
Rather than stay mum, Tenshin has since responded to McGregor.
On New Year’s Eve, Conor hit up Instagram to reference Mayweather’s Tenshin bout payout and also announce he’s expecting a new baby in 2019.
