Micahel Chiesa probably wouldn’t approve of the latest social media exchange between Conor McGregor and Jorge Masvidal, because now, a mother has become a subject of the trash talk. Typically, whenever the family is brought into the mix, things turn ugly quickly. However, this time, Masvidal’s mother being a topic of discussion has not resulted in things going south, but rather surprisingly respectful. In a recent interview with MMA Fighting , Masvidal was asked if McGregor wants to fight, and the response triggered the latest exchange between the two fighters. “No, Conor doesn’t want the fight,” Masvidal said. “If he did, he’d post something, he’d say something, he’d probably just insult my mom or some relative of mine, my nation, where I come from, something like that.” McGregor replied to the video clip from the interview, stating that Masvidal’s mother would not be a target of his talk.
