Conor McGregor News: Notorious responds to Tyson, Mayweather prediction, USADA testing
GETTY Conor McGregor, UFC lightweight champion. Conor McGregor has hit back at Mike Tyson for comments he made about his upcoming boxing match with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Earlier this week, the former heavyweight champion of the world completely dismissed the Irishman's chances of becoming the first man to defeat Mayweather, who he will face on August 26.
McGregor caught wind of 'Iron' Mike's comments on Tuesday evening and responded by trolling the New Yorker over his 1998 legal dispute with Don King.
"Thats nice Mike, but youre looking at the new Don King here, son," the reigning UFC lightweight champion tweeted.

I've fought many men from all rule-sets, big Eastern European motherf***ers and I'm looking at their skull, and I know it's going to take a few smacks to put this man away," he said.
"It happened with the Nate Diaz rematch too, he knew the weight would be 170[lbs] instead of 155 so he got bigger and when he got close I saw his head and I thought 'this guy's gonna take some smacks off me.' "When I met Aldo – undefeated, pound for pound – I just looked at his head and it's 'I know you're good, I know you're this and you're that, but you're not gonna take the smacks off me.' It took one shot to make him fall.
"Floyd is definitely not gonna take the shots, the legs, the body, the stability and the core, it doesn't support him against this animal. He is in over his head with this, he doesn't know what he's got himself into.".
And finally, McGregor and Mayweather will be subjected to strict testing from USADA in the build up to their multi-million-pound super-fight.
"Mr McGregor is subject to both the UFC Anti-Doping Policy (because hes still an active UFC athlete) and the anti-doping program agreed to for the Mayweather vs. McGregor boxing match, a USADA spokesperson told MMA Fighting.
"The program is consistent with other professional boxing programs USADA has conducted over the years where the athletes agree to robust testing," the spokesperson added. GETTY Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather will face one another in a boxing match on August 26.
"It primarily focuses on out-of-competition testing, all samples are analysed at WADA accredited labs and the rules are consistent with the WADA Code and UFC Anti-Doping Policy.
And like all our anti-doping programs, we start by educating the athletes and their representatives to ensure they're properly informed of their rights and responsibilities.".
