UFC 197: Conor McGregor trashes Rafael dos Anjos instantly, vows to 'behead' Brazilian 'traitor'

It didn't take long for Conor McGregor to begin his verbal assault on Rafael dos Anjos after their much-anticipated Lightweight title fight was made official for UFC 197, which will take place inside MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on March 5, 2016.

"Notorious" immediately took to Facebook to declare war on the Brazilian, saying he was going to behead him on behalf of his countrymen for betraying them by moving to the United States.

He also cited the slight delay in announcing the fight on the fact that he was busy counting the till from his UFC 194 title fight against Jose Aldo in which he dethroned the long-time Featherweight champion in a mere 13 seconds.
