Earlier this week Conor McGregor posted a message online calling his upcoming UFC 197 opponent Rafael dos Anjos a “traitor.” The lightweight champion has fired back at McGregor, saying McGregor’s claims make no sense and that he’s “out of his mind.” Here’s what Ajos had to say:

“It doesn’t make any sense,” Dos Anjos told MMAFighting.com. “We have a lot of Brazilians in the United States. It doesn’t mean we’re traitors to our country. I’ve got kids, and I had to move for different things like better wrestling training partners here. I think that was a frustrated way to try to win the Brazilian fans. This guy is out of his mind. He’s going to try to do his best to try to mess with my head. I don’t hate him, but the Brazilians do. Brazil is on my side.”

Rafael dos Anjos and Conor McGregor will meet at UFC 197 on March 5th in Las Vegas. Live round-by-round coverage of the event starts at 10 PM ET on MMANews.com.
