Apparently, the streamer, now a boxer, was also present in the crowd. McGregor didn’t waste any time in taking a potshot at the up-and-coming fighter. “I know your man KSI is in the crowd, yeah? And he couldn’t box eggs if he worked in an egg boxing factory“, said the UFC legend without batting an eyelid. He then went on to challenge KSI to a bare-knuckle fight.
