Rapper 50 Cent is standing behind his bold claim that he could take down Conor McGregor in a street fight.

Fifty, who first made the claim in September, reignited his feud with the UFC lightweight champion while promoting his new movie, "Den of Thieves."

"Right now, when he's at 154 pounds?" he said during a conference call with reporters, according to Chisanga Malata of the UK's Express. "I'm 225 right now! They don't understand this is heavyweight (expletive) going on around here. I hit them, they see a white light. They hear a message. Slow down, boy. They think Jesus is talking to them.

"Outside the confinements of the sport, if you got into a (street) fight, it's a different thing."
