Carl Froch threatens 'to smash Conor McGregor’s head in' after social media battle with UFC star drags on

CARL FROCH has continued his war of words with Conor McGregor by vowing to “smash” the MMA superstar’s head in.

Former two-division UFC champion McGregor has found himself embroiled in an ongoing feud with The Cobra over the last few months, exchanging jibes on social media.

MMA mogul McGregor recently claimed he’d “slaughter” both Froch and the boxer’s old rival George Groves inside the octagon.

That notion has amused former WBC and IBF super-middleweight champion Froch, who said on his podcast with Groves: “Me and George Groves at the same time?

” Are you sure? Have you seen the size of George?

“No disrespect to George.

“But literally I’d pepper you with the jab, maybe hit you with one right hand.

“Actually, no, if I hit you with one right hand then the fight’s over.”

Froch joked that former opponent Groves would keep McGregor grounded for the duration of the fight if he got his hands on him.

He continued: “Let’s just say George Groves ends up on the ground with you and he rolls on top of you, then what are you gonna do?

“The fight would be done.

“Then I could just smash your head in while George Groves lies on you.

“Yeah if you fancy that, I’ll take that. Eddie Hearn, let’s get it made.”

UFC superstar McGregor, 34, hasn’t set foot inside the octagon since breaking his leg in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier in July 2021.

The Irishman, however, is set to return to action later this year in a blockbuster showdown with Michael Chandler.

But a date for the eagerly-anticipated clash has yet to be finalised.

That’s because McGregor has yet to re-enter the United States Anti-Doping Agency’s testing pool – which fighters must be in for a minimum of six months.

As of of April 13, the date for the latest sample update, McGregor has still yet to be tested by USADA.
