Conor McGregor Re-Ignites a War of Words With UFC Fighter After His Debatable Plan to Stop His “Matrix” Move

Throughout his fighting career, Conor McGregor has been known for his striking ability. Along with immense power in his left hand, McGregor is known for the precision with which he can strike. Recently, ‘The Notorious’ on Twitter shared a plan with fans and fighters to stop an upcoming lightweight fighter in the UFC.

The saga started when MMA journalist Alex Behunin uploaded a video of Rafael Fiziev on Twitter. In the video, Fiziev is seen avoiding high kicks. The MMA journalist captioned the video, “I will never get tired of watching Rafael Fiziev enter the Matrix while in a fist fight”

This video, posted by Behunin, came to the notice of Conor McGregor. The former 155-pound champion retweeted the post and wrote, “This is awesome. Change the roundhouse to an axe kick. Roundhouse into and axe kick and this defense eats the full of the heel. I’m telling you. If their reaction to a high kick is this, implement the axe.:”

Fiziev responded to McGregor and invited him to train at his gym. ‘Ataman’ said, “Conor, I invite you to @tigermuaythai where we can show you how to kick and defend the kicks properly so you can stop living in fantasy world where you think it’s possible to land an axe kick in this situation”
