Get ready for some new hot stories from the world of MMA with another edition of the daily roundup! To start today’s list, we’ll be taking a look at what UFC superstar Conor McGregor had to say to Khabib Nurmagomedov. Apparently, the Irishman recently turned it up a notch when it came to his insults aimed at ‘The Eagle.’

Thereafter, we’ll turn our attention to a recent brawl that broke out just days before UFC 304. The brawl, that went down between the camps of Manel Kape and Muhammad Mokaev, led ‘Starboy’ to slam the 23-year-old with some accusations. Finally, our roundup ends with a warning to Alex Pereira, who’s garnering some serious attention from the roster after he hinted at a potential heavyweight move.

What did Conor McGregor say to Khabib Nurmagomedov?

Recently, jarring reports have popped up claiming that the Russian Authorities are taking rigid legal steps against Nurmagomedov to recover a sum of $900,000. These actions were carried out following a Russian court’s order for enforcement of legal actions. This could spell trouble for the 29-0 legend whose assets, including luxury cars amounting to around $800,000, and his house in Dagestan, could get seized in a flash. When his arch-rival, Conor McGregor, got word of this news, he seemed to have taken his level of insults to another level.

“Brotha I just put in to buy your family home off government because you can’t afford I plan on big smelly Irish sh*t,” wrote Conor McGregor in a leaked snap of his DMs. It isn’t surprising to see ‘The Notorious’ rubbing salt on Khabib Nurmagomedov’s wounds, but did he take a bit too far with this insult? Let us know in the comments, but not before you take a look at the next news.

Manel Kape blames Muhammad Mokaev for their brawl in the hotel

So the big news less than 48 hours away from UFC 304 in Manchester is that Manel Kape and Muhammad Mokaev got into a brawl in the hotel where the fighters are stationed. The duo is scheduled to take on each other but decided to throw down some fists before they even get to the event. Following the brawl, Kape took to social media and addressed the fans about the reality of the situation. Apparently, it was Muhammad Mokaev who started the shenanigans after approaching ‘Starboy’ for a picture after which he tried to land a cheap shot.

Manel Kape would lay the smackdown on Muhammad Mokaev, claiming that he’s not a real Dagestani, but rather a “poor b*st*rd.” The 30-year-old also claimed to have dealt with him face-to-face at the PI recently when they had a brawl there as well. But after Mokaev tried to get the better of the Portuguese fighter, Kape promised the 23-year-old to bring “carnage” when they butt heads inside the Octagon on Saturday.

Alex Pereira warned to stay out of the heavyweight division

A belt in the 185 lbs category, and then a belt in the 205 lbs category doesn’t seem enough for Alex Pereira. After his UFC 303 win, fans cheered when Joe Rogan mentioned that he could go to the heavyweight division and fight the biggest contenders, and ‘Poatan’ seemed to love that idea. However, interim title challenger Curtis Blaydes believes Pereira will regret his decision since it’s a “bad idea” and laid down his game plan if he had to fight the Brazilian ace.

“[Against] Him, I’ll give you my premeditated plan: I’m going to shoot. Immediately. Why would I give him any chance to knock me out on the feet when I know I can take him down at will? I’m sure he has to know that,” said Curtis Blaydes during the UFC 304 media day. He recommends that Alex Pereira should choose his heavyweight opponent wisely. What do you think?
