UFC lightweight Al Iaquinta is always down to roast the opposition on Twitter, but he also appreciates a good response. When former two-division champ Conor McGregor (21-4 MMA, 9-2 UFC) didn’t give him one after a recent rant , he was a little disappointed. “It’s not, ‘Who the fook is that guy?’ That’s what I was hoping for,” Iaquinta (14-4-1 MMA, 9-3 UFC) told MMAjunkie Radio. McGregor targeted famed MMA coach Firas Zahabi and UFC commentator Joe Rogan for saying Iaquinta fared better against UFC lightweight champ Khabib Nurmagomedov. He called Zahabi a “twerp” who hadn’t fought and “hit a clock for a living.” Zahabi, who also predicted featherweight champ Max Holloway would defeat McGregor in a rematch, responded that the observation wasn’t personal and thanked the ex-champ for listening to his podcast
