McGregor willing to fight Makhachev: 'No sweat'
Count Conor McGregor in for a fight with Islam Makhachev.
The former UFC two-division champion tweeted Friday he's open to taking on the rising lightweight contender in the future and suggested it would be an easy matchup.
McGregor also slammed Makhachev for his performance against Bobby Green in the UFC main event on Feb. 26 - Makhachev won by first-round TKO - and for apparently turning down a short-notice fight with Rafael dos Anjos at Saturday's UFC 272.
I’ll fight that shit stain makchavich, no sweat. Embarrassing g’n’p the other night imo. Pitiful punching. And then bottles the rda fight after mouthing of him lol. Embarrassing. Watch when I come back. Same as before.

Anyone. Any weight. Anywhere.
Game full of shit stains.
Full mount g’n’p and the guy bounces up not a scratch, huggin and kissin. Talkin bout thanks for the match etc. If that’s me there’s holes left in their head like they been smacked with a sock full of golf balls. Don’t even know where they are. Caramel butter skin strikes again!

McGregor, 33, hasn't competed since breaking his leg in a trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier last July.
"The Notorious" plans to return to the Octagon this summer and - on top of a fight with Makhachev - has expressed interest in an immediate lightweight title shot.
