Berlanga"},"content":{"rendered":"

Imagine a world where boxing\u2019s biggest star is called a \u201ccornflake\u201d by MMA\u2019s most notorious mouth. Well, fans certainly don\u2019t need to imagine anymore.\u00a0Conor McGregor<\/a>, the UFC\u2019s king of controversy, has recently just fired a shot at\u00a0Canelo Alvarez<\/a>. With two major events set to collide in Las Vegas this September, the Irishman\u2019s predicting a knockout. But not the kind you might expect.<\/p>\n

McGregor\u2019s not pulling any punches with his words. He claims Alvarez can only draw about 300,000 buys. That\u2019s a far cry from the $200 million Alvarez is reportedly seeking for a future fight. With two major events set to clash in Las Vegas on September 14, the timing of this verbal sparring is no coincidence. In one corner, there is UFC 306 at the futuristic Sphere. On the other, Canelo faces Edgar Berlanga at T-Mobile Arena.<\/p>\n

\u201cCanelo is a cornflake. He has about [300,000] buys in him. He does not generate nothing near what he seeks to be paid. UFC Noche [306] is going to run them from the strip. Sheik Turki was right, moving on. Canelo doesn\u2019t sell,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>wrote McGregor via X.<\/p>\n

McGregor predicts that UFC 306 will heavily\u00a0outperform the clashing boxing event<\/a>.\u00a0The Irishman didn\u2019t just stop there. He praised Sheikh Turki Alalshikh for\u00a0\u201cmoving on\u201d<\/em>\u00a0from Alvarez. It seems McGregor thinks the boxing champ isn\u2019t worth the investment.<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s not forget McGregor hasn\u2019t stepped into the octagon since July 2021. His last fight ended with a broken leg and a loss to\u00a0Dustin Poirier<\/a>. So, is the \u2018Notorious<\/a>\u2018 just stirring the pot? Or does he truly believe UFC 306 will outshine Canelo vs Berlanga? Only time will tell.<\/p>\n

Conor McGregor Okay With Swapping Michael Chandler With Max Holloway<\/h2>\n

The Irishman is at it again as the UFC\u2019s most notorious loudmouth is stirring the pot again. This time, he is threatening to ditch Chandler for his long-awaited return in the octagon. The saga between these two fighters has been on a rollercoaster ride. First, they were set to face off earlier in June this year. Then McGregor\u2019s broken toe put those plans on ice. Now, it seems the drama is over.<\/p>\n

Both fighters had hinted at a December showdown at UFC 310. But in true McGregor fashion, nothing is ever simple. The Irishman has thrown a curveball into the mix. In a recent Twitter exchange, McGregor threatened to swap Chandler out. His proposed replacement? None other than\u00a0<\/em>\u201cthe real BMF,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Max Holloway.<\/p>\n

\u201c? lol ok lil bro. Swapped out handy. @BlessedMMA what you at December? The real BMF, you know,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0wrote McGregor in a now-deleted tweet.<\/p>\n
