CONOR McGREGOR has sensationally taken shots at Neymar as the UFC star says he will ‘smoke’ the Brazil and PSG ace.
The Notorious is currently out of action in the UFC after suffering a broken leg in his last fight against Dustin Poirier.
However he has been adamant about receiving another title shot at the UFC lightweight belt when he returns from injury.
McGregor, who won the belt when defeating Eddie Alvarez back in 2016, has made no secret of his desire to take on current champ Charles Oliveira.
But superstar footballer Neymar has also entered his crosshairs after taking a bizarre shot at the most expensive player in history.
Oliveira, who is from Brazil, shared a photo last week alongside Neymar where he thanked him for his support and ‘affection’.
But last night McGregor hit back by sharing the photo to his Instagram story saying he would ‘smoke the two of these’.
McGregor has feuded with a Brazilian star in the past having battled Jose Aldo to win his first UFC title belt back in 2015.

And while he remains on the sideline through injury the Dubliner has been stepping up his recovery to return by the start of the summer.
He has won just one fight inside the Octagon since his last title success in 2016, losing twice to Dustin Poirier last year.
Oliveira defeated Poirier by submission in his last fight in December and his won his last eight bouts inside the Octagon with none of them going the distance.
But Oliveira would be happy to see him skip the queue for a shot at the title and is open to facing him come May this year.
He said: “May would be a wonderful date. Conor challenged me asking a date, and tweeted Ireland vs Brazil 2.
“Not only him, but also myself and all the world wants to see that fight. So let’s make it happen.
“I’m waiting for him in May. It may be in welterweight, lightweight or middleweight, with my title on the line or not. Just choose and I’ll be ready.”
