WORLD heavyweight champion Tyson Fury took to Twitter to share his views on the defeat of Conor McGregor.

“Both top UFC fighters lost this weekend, Holly Holm showed more balls than Conor McGregor,” Fury said. “The fighting pride of Ireland would not have tapped out so easy. I would have went sleep first. There can only be one Tyson Fury.”

He concluded by lambasting the sport as a whole. “MMA is bulls***, gets hard, tap out, boxing is the ultimate combat sport, where two proper fighters stand up and fight,” Fury declared.
