Welcome to our latest UFC news and social media round up for 23 November 2018, and the holiday spirit is very much in the air as we compile a multitude of Thanksgiving wishes from UFC fighters.
Also in the news is a fiesty sort of exchange between Conor McGregor and the SmackDown Live Women’s Champion Beckly Lynch – which tapered down into the Notorious one teasing a WWE appearance.
And Chael Sonnen just sold us all on Chuck Liddell – Tito Ortiz 3 by absolutely burying the fight and the fighters.
Hopefully this ends with Conor McGregor punching Brock Lesnar in the face in the WWE
The Man channels no one. @TheNotoriousMMA & me are bonded as Irish brother & sister. But if I ever got within 2 miles of him I’d break that bond, and his arm, in three short seconds. 😂 I’d be too tempting; he’d completely understand too. Proper12 after.

Call me when you need Proper back up.

Cheers, Conor. I’m carrying two divisions at the moment, but you know exactly how that is. I hear New York is nice in the spring, though. 🇮🇪 https://t.co/51VSVCCG28

Chael Sonnen just did more promotion for this fight in less than an hour that Oscar De La Hoya has done in months
Reading a lot about this upcoming fight. People are calling Chuck and Tito things like "mixed martial artist" and "good". Those people apparently don't own a dictionary.
— Chael Sonnen (@ChaelSonnen) November 23, 2018
They just posted Chuck Liddell’s open work out. That’s the first time I’ve seen someone lose a shadow boxing match.
— Chael Sonnen (@ChaelSonnen) November 23, 2018
Tito Ortiz HAS BEEN a world champion. Chuck Liddell HAS BEEN one of the most feared fighters in mixed martial arts. The most important fact I've mentioned here is that both are HAS BEENS.
— Chael Sonnen (@ChaelSonnen) November 23, 2018
After this fight, when Chuck retires he’ll probably write his autobiography. When he does he'll have written more books than he's read. Look I'm not saying he's as dumb as dirt. I'm not. He's dumber.

James Vick could have ended up in Thai prison…for not allowing himself to get extorted! Yikes.
It's crazy how ppl act like Americans treat immigrants or foreigners bad in our country. I'm lucky I just didn't go to Jail over here in Thailand for cussing the police out for extorting me for money! Also alot of places here have separate lines for foreigners where you (1/3)
