Conor Mc Gregor UFC news: Notorious reacts to Deontay Wilder v Tyson Fury face-off

Conor McGregor revealed his excitement ahead of the hotly anticipated rematch between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder this weekend.

The pair meet at the MGM Grand Arena in the early hours of Sunday morning Irish time, as they look to settle the score from their controversial split draw in Los Angeles back in 2018.

They are set to go toe-to-toe again - this time in Las Vegas - and UFC ace McGregor will be an interested spectator.

The Dubliner's Proper No, Twelve whiskey is one of the sponsors of the fight.

Reacting to last night's heated face-off ahead of the rematch, McGregor tweeted: "Big respect to both men here. Both jaw breakers in scenarios like that past.

"Without doubt. Maturity! Excellent. We are in for an amazing fight this weekend. Brought to you by Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey."

While on Instagram, 'The Notorious' wrote: "@properwhiskey I am very excited for the heavyweight fight this weekend!

"Brought to you by Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey."

McGregor has not revealed who he will be supporting when Fury and Wilder take to the ring for their world title scrap.

Fury and Wilder kicked off their final press conference with a shoving match ahead of the WBC heavyweight title rematch.

As soon as the pair walked onto the stage, Fury got in Wilder's face, singing and taunting the American champion.

Wilder kept his composure before finally losing his patience and pushing Fury away, with the challenger then replying in kind before security staff quickly waded in.

As the jibes continued, Fury claimed to have raised Wilder's profile and stock - only for the American to then taunt his rival about his mental health issues.
