Watch: McGregor Goes Off On Khabib & Woodley Backstage At UFC 205 Weigh-Ins
UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor has quite the task ahead of him tomorrow night when he takes on Eddie Alvarez for the lightweight title, but his list of adversaries continues to be growing by the minute.
Earlier today, McGregor and UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley got into a Twitter beef that has caught the attention of many mixed martial arts (MMA) fans worldwide, sparking rumors that ‘The Notorious One’ may be after 170-pound gold next.
Woodley, who will be defending his welterweight title against Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson in the co-main event of UFC 205 tomorrow night, didn’t hear the last of it there, however, as video footage surfaced of McGregor going off on him backstage at the UFC 205 weigh-ins earlier today:
McGregor continued his verbal assault by then engaging in a heated conversation with No. 2-ranked lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov, who will also be competing tomorrow night against No. 6-ranked Michael Johnson on the stacked Madison Square Garden card.
In the video below you can see McGregor and Nurmagomedov being separated by security as they jaw off at one another, moments before they are due to hit the scale in front of the packed MSG crowd:

Regardless of whether or not these two men could be next in line for ‘The Notorious One’ we will have to take it one fight at a time, as McGregor currently has his sights set on making history in attempt to become the first dual-weight champ in UFC history.
It all goes down live on pay-per-view (PPV) from the Madison Square Garden arena in New York City tomorrow night (Saturday November 12, 2016).
