“That’s Why a Lot of These Rat Bags Like to Hate”- Conor McGregor Proclaims He Has the Best Ground and Pound in MMA

UFC lightweight Conor McGregor has recovered from the nasty leg injury he sustained in his UFC 264 trilogy fight against ‘The Diamond’ Dustin Poirier. Now, the Irishman is back to the training mats and has got his social media game rolling as well.

Whilst sharing some photos from one of his recent training routines, ‘The Notorious’ provided an observation. Conor McGregor proclaimed he has the best ground and pound game in the business that leaves his opponents battered and bruised.

In the caption, ‘The Notorious’ wrote, “I’ve the best ground and pound in the game. My highest % of finishes does not actually come from my standing horizontal back hand, like most assume. My highest % of finishing wins actually come from the accuracy of my vertical punching (you are all novices vertical striking. Arm hitters. Ask ref to stop it hitters. Fall over on yourself hitters).”

“I don’t miss g’n’p. I do not hit arms. I do not fall in. I hit soft face, head and skull. It’s how you’ve seen people vs me absolutely cut up. Looking like they’ve just got a bang of a few golf balls off the tee of a driving range. Skin fully opened. Yet me, skin like butter.”

“Many times I’ve not even messed up my hair. That’s why a lot of these rat bags like to hate. I’m smooth like butter with it. The richest, the baddest, the most unscathed. Anyways rat bags, It’s almost yacht season, or as I like to call it, caramel butter skin season.”

Although McGregor called out the ‘rats’ in his post, he certainly has taken a liking to one UFC champion.

McGregor recently got his Twitter fingers rolling and congratulated the UFC middleweight champion of the world, Israel Adesanya, just after his high-voltage title fight against Robert Whittaker at UFC 271.

The good wishes were due as ‘The Last Stylebender,’ after inking a fresh deal with the Las Vegas-based MMA league, became the second-highest-paid fighter in the UFC. Currently, the Nigerian-born Kiwi sits just behind the UFC’s maiden simultaneous double champion.
