Conor McGregor’s love for alcohol turned him into a soon-to-be billionaire and still going strong. He didn’t only co-founded the Peoper Twelve whiskey brand but he also founded the Forged Stout beer brand. All Irish-produced and high-quality alcoholic beverages. Topuria taunted Conor on a press conference he offered in Spain and MARCA asked him about that challenge. Ilia quickly mentioned Conor’s predilection for alcohol. But he also said he would still beat Prime Conor McGregor. He said: “He is good enough to drink two bottles of whiskey. I don’t know if he is ready to fight. Even if he was in his prime, beating him would be a piece of cake.”

Strong words from Topuria, who still hasn’t drown a reaction from McGregor. Conor is currently enthralled in matters of his country’s politics. McGregor has been trying to antagonize the Irish Government’s policies by using his platforms for protest-like statements. It shouldn’t take McGregor long to respond given the level of insult he just got. Another important aspect to note is that Conor McGregor may not even be looking to fight at featherweight anymore. Currently, he is walking around at at least 180 pounds.
