John McEnroe is one of the most outspoken stars to ever take to a tennis court, but the American’s blustering bravado extends much further than just his famous 1984 Wimbledon tantrum. And I want you to, whoever you are, you’re not a fighter and you don’t take my job. “They say he’s another Muhammad Ali, there’s just one Muhammad Ali. “I heard all the way in America, heard all the way in Indonesia, that this fella talks too much,” the boxer once said. In fact, his trash talking was so good, it even drew the attention of Ali. Whether he was claiming he wasn’t the best manager in the world “but he was in the top one”, or in a war of words with rival Don Revie, Cloughie was always box office. Smith was having a tough day at the office against Hughes, prompting the Australian to snidely comment: “If you turn the bat over you’ll find the instructions”īrian Clough is quite simply one of the greatest managers the beautiful game has ever seen, but outside of collecting silverware like stamps, the Derby County and Nottingham Forest legend was the king of cocky and controversial remarks. Hughes has a back catalogue of trash-talk thicker than his iconic handlebar moustache, but our personal favourite came against England batter Robin Smith. However, few can compare to fast-bowler Merv Hughes. Sledging, cricket’s term for trash-talking, is an integral part of the sport and we’ve seen a number of sublime sledgers over the years. Poirier likely punched his ticket to a title shot against lightweight champion Charles Oliveira.The gentleman’s game? Pah. McGregor had surgery Sunday on his broken leg and said the prognosis includes six weeks on crutches, after which time he plans to return to training for a comeback. We can dislike each other, but you don’t say sh*t like that. Even when he was sitting there on the ground, with his busted leg, he was looking at me (making gun signs to the head) like, ‘I’m going to kill you.’ Like, what is wrong with you bro? This is a sport. “Earlier this week, he was saying he was going to murder me and I was going to not make it home and stuff like that,” Poirier said. Poirier also told UFC sideline reporter Megan Olivi on ESPN’s post-fight show that McGregor continued to make death threats in the cage. Every time before I walk through the octagon door, I’m praying that – not for me to win – I’m praying that we both get out of this safe, because I know what I’m going to try to do to him and I know what he’s going to try to do to me.” I want him to go home safe to his family. But even that stuff being said, I don’t wish serious harm like that on nobody. “Maybe when this behind-the-scenes for this fight airs, you’ll see him on the ground still saying some real bad stuff. “Listen, Conor said some nasty stuff that didn’t make it on ‘(UFC) Embedded,'” Poirier told MMA Junkie after the fight. One thing that is certain is Poirier talked about McGregor’s words in his post-fight news conference and suggested footage is out there that might not paint McGregor in a great light.

While some of what McGregor is saying is hard to make out over the crowd noise and the start of Poirier’s interview with Joe Rogan in the cage, it sounds like McGregor is yelling to Poirier that “In your sleep, you’re getting it … in your sleep, you’re getting it … in your sleep, you’re getting it … it ain’t over.”Ī Twitter post with the video claims McGregor also said “You’re dead … You and your Mrs.,” a reference to Jolie Poirier, though the noise in the arena makes that hard to tell with certainty. Poirier said after the fight that McGregor’s death threat-type words continued even while medical personnel were attending to his broken leg, and a new angle released online might just back that up.
