JAKARTA - After Islam Makhachev defeated Charles Oliveira to become the new lightweight champion at UFC 280, Conor McGregor praised the fight.
However, The Notorious immediately boasted that he had the skills to beat him.
The Irish man did not refrain from discussing the reasons why he would beat the Russian fighter if they faced each other.
"Good fight, good performance," McGregor wrote on Twitter quoted by Marca, Monday.
"I've built all the tools to beat this style now versus before. Experience vs Garbage."
As is well known, McGregor has a grudge against Khabib Nurmagomedov, coach Makhachev, and it appears he is now targeting his students.
Makhachev himself won an empty lightweight title at the UFC 280 by beating Charles Oliveira on Saturday.
The 31-year-old Russian fighter won his 11th consecutive fight with an arm triangle choke in the 3:17th minute of round two at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi.
"I told everyone my goal: 'I have to kill this guy in the octagon,' and I did," Makhachev said.
Oliveira is actually working to regain his title which was repealed in May after the Brazilian failed to hit the weight set for his fight against Justin Gaethje.
