McGregor Calls Out KSI – ‘Let’s Go, We Are Back Baby’
Conor McGregor has called KSI for a boxing bout, hitting out at his latest song.
The Irishman’s comments were made as he attended BKFC’s first-ever event in Spain. The Irishman still has two fights left on his UFC deal, but his injury problems have disrupted his career. The Notorious has not had a UFC fight since losing to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in 2021. That was the third defeat from his previous four fights. He pulled out of his UFC 303 against Michael Chandler with a broken toe. He is expected to fight next year, but his opponent is unclear.
Chandler is scheduled to fight Charles Oliveira at UFC 309 in their rematch. McGregor has been linked with various boxing bouts against Jake Paul, Manny Pacquiao and even KSI. Conor has now teased a fight with KSI, calling him out due to the negative criticism over his song ‘Thick of It.’ KSI released the song, which has resulted in a mass backlash. McGregor has now had a dig at the Misfits star.

“Let’s go, mate. I’ll fight him for that…song he released alone! I’ll fight him for that…song alone. We’re back baby,” McGregor said
McGregor also turned his attention towards UFC Featherweight Champion Ilia Topuria. The pair had a feud of late, which escalated after McGregor criticized the champion during a live stream with the betting company Duelbits. He vowed to slap Topuria’s nose off and urged him to confront him in Spain at the BKFC event.
The Georgian did respond by stating that he would stomp on the Irishman’s head. He also vowed to give McGregor a funeral if they ever crossed paths. That has set the narrative for a potential fight later down the line. While Topuria has expressed his desire to fight for titles, naming Islam Makhachev as a possible opponent, McGregor had no qualms about taking on Topuria. But for that to happen, Topuria must get past Max Holloway first.
McGregor On Topuria
Topuria will make the first defense of his title against the BMF Champion at UFC 308. He knocked out Alexander Volkanovski in his last fight to win the title. It kept up his undefeated record, giving Volkanovski his first stoppage loss at the weight class. He also ended the Australian’s four-year reign as champion. But Holloway is no pushover. Blessed knocked out Justin Gaethje in his last fight in thrilling circumstances. Despite dominating the fight, Holloway decided to trade with Justin in the final round. They met in the center as Max landed a big right hand. It ended the fight with only a second left, giving Holloway a highlight KO. McGregor hoped Max would do the same to Topuria.
“This isn’t his home country. This is my home country, baby! Marvilla, Spain, where is he at? This is not his home country, he knows where his home country is, and it’s not España…So good luck Max Holloway,” McGregor stated
