‘El Cucuy’ said, “I’m going to kick him in the shin, regardless. You call McNuggets man. He’s full of sh*t. So if he had the opportunity to listen to it, he probably would have went to McDonalds. He went to the Burger King. So I get underneath the skin.”
“So, obviously, we got a couple things going on for him. I don’t think he’s been in the testing pool for USADA for about five to six months. He’s been on a boat, but I’m the real boat, that’s the best of all time… So when it comes down to it, goats, goats come and go, boats stay float.”
“And Conor McGregor, he’s out there on the boat so no motherf***ers can get to him. So I’ll find him with the jet ski and we’ll make sure we go there, we hunt that motherf***er down.”
