Conor McGregor names the only fighter to ‘put a scratch’ on him (and it’s not who you think)

Conor McGregor loves a bit of the old Twitter machine. Last night, the former UFC champion did what he has done many times before; rant wildly into the void with a series of aggressive tweets which he would later delete.

Among this latest barrage was an interesting claim regarding his past opponents. Chiefly, he stated that only one man was ever able to “put a scratch” on him.

I know what you’re thinking. We’ve seen McGregor bloodied up a few times over the course of his career. The Irishman’s second battle with Nate Diaz was especially gorey, he was put to sleep by Dustin Poirier and even in his 13-second fight with Jose Aldo the Brazilian was able to land a blow that caused a trickle of claret from his brow.
