UFC 196 tweets – dos Anjos to ‘soft’ McGregor: This is not featherweight

UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos called out “soft” Conor McGregor on Twitter following McGregor’s submission loss to Nate Diaz on Saturday night.

Conor McGregor was supposed to fight lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 196 on Saturday night. The potential for McGregor to become the first simultaneous dual-weight class champion in UFC history was scrapped due to RDA’s broken foot, and as you almost certainly know by now, McGregor fought and was submitted by Nate Diaz in a late-notice welterweight main event.

As you would expect, dos Anjos had a word or two (almost literally) to say about McGregor’s dramatic loss, and he went straight to the point by calling McGregor “soft” and noting that “this isn’t featherweight”, of which the latter is 100% confirmed to be true.

Soft!!!!

(Side note: I recommend reading the replies to the “Soft!!!!” tweet, because there was a hell of a discussion brewing between MMA fans about the validity of RDA pulling out with his injury.)

While dos Anjos is recovering from his broken foot, McGregor plans to return to featherweight, where he’s still the champion.
