Conor McGregor insight given as UFC star branded 'weak' and 'soft like a marshmallow'

Khabib Nurmagomedov's manager claims that the Dubliner has been offered to fight Justin Gaethje "at least five times", but never accepted the bout

Conor McGregor has been described as "weak" and "soft like a marshmallow" by Ali Abdelaziz.

Khabib Nurmagomedov's manager claims that the Dubliner has been offered to fight Justin Gaethje "at least five times", but never accepted the bout.

McGregor has not fought in over three years, but was due to face Michael Chandler during the summer. However, he was forced to withdraw from the bout after suffering a broken toe in training.

Abdelaziz took aim at McGregor in a recent interview with Submission Radio, in which he claimed the former two-weight champion "never wanted to have to do anything with Justin Gaethje".

He said: "Let's be real, Conor McGregor will never, will never... He got offered this fight at least five times. At least five, he never wanted to have to do anything with Justin Gaethje.

"He said the reason he didn't want to fight Justin was because Justin talked bad to him on Twitter [X] and Instagram before, and the history we have with him. He didn't want to lose to our team, I guess?"

When asked when the offers were made, Abdelaziz responded by saying: "Through the last five or six years. He got offered Justin Gaethje so many times, never once, never once this man...

"Even the UFC told me, 'Leave him alone. Don't talk with him, he doesn't like to fight people who talk bad to him on the internet. I promise you, he likes to be the one to start the talk and you retaliate. Why do you think Chandler is being so nice to him?

"Why? Why? Because, he was being told not to talk bad to Conor. Conor has to start talking bad and you talk bad back.

"You know, he's a weak, mental midget. He's soft like a marshmallow and he's a no good son of a b****, this is what he is."
