Mark Coleman’s exchange with Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor had posted a tweet acknowledging the challenge to fight Coleman. However, the Irishman later deleted the tweet. Not one to shy away from expressing himself, Coleman took to Facebook to address McGregor directly. With unwavering confidence, he declared that the fight must be in boxing, as he knows he would pummel McGregor in MMA, even at the age of 58.

“Conor McGregor. I’m a big fan, thank you for calling me out. It has to be boxing, I smash you in MMA, you know that. You did steal a round from Khabib but that’s at 155. Boxing, probably go to a decision. We’ll see who wins that. But, I want a red panty night! Sober is cool, Conor will die! For life.”
