Conor McGregor slams RDA for wanting BMF title following Jorge Masvidal controversy

Conor McGregor has slammed former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos for wanting the BMF title following Jorge Masvidal’s alleged attack on Colby Covington.

RDA believes ex-street fighter Masvidal should be stripped of the belt for sucker-punching Covington and demanded UFC president Dana White to hand over the ‘BMF’ crown to him.

“You’re either a BMF or you’re a sucker puncher. Can’t be both. @danawhite time to hand that belt to me,” dos Anjos posted.

McGregor roasted dos Anjos for his request and said the Brazilian will never be eligible to fight for the BMF belt after pulling out of his 2016 lightweight title showdown with ‘The Notorious’ due to a broken foot.
