There's no denying that the unusual announcement of Floyd Mayweather fighting against Tenshin Nasukawa has caught a lot of people by surprise, including Conor McGregor.
The 30-year-old UFC fighter, who fought and lost to Mayweather in a boxing match in 2017, posted a brilliant -- and somewhat 'controversial' -- response to the announcement on Instagram.
For a reminder, here's what the Notorious had to say on the matter: "Is that a tracksuit or a sauna suit, Floyd? Ha-ha. WTF. Is it hot in Tokyo or what's the story here? That climate change is no joke. F**k me. Ha-ha.

"What in the f**k is going on here? Who's this little p***k next to you? That's mad s**t. Like something out of Rush Hour 5 or something.
"Chris Tucker and Jackie-fucking-Chan back in this b***h. F*****g brilliant. Mad little b*****d you are, Floyd. Fair f***s to you mate. No lie. F**k it."
Well, it looks like his comments have provoked a response from Nasukawa himself. The 20-year-old Japanese kickboxer took to Twitter to brutally put down McGregor.

"Hello, Mr McGregor," he wrote, before adding: "My Name is Tenshin Nasukawa.
"I am not Jackie Chan. I promise to avenge your loss, so please watch my fight."
Burn!

The undefeated 41-year-old American will take on the undefeated Nasukawa on 31st December in Japan.
"I wanted to do something different," he said.
"I wanted to display my skills outside the U.S. and be in a special fight. I want to give the people what they want -- blood, sweat and tears."
Nasukawa added: "It was a surprise offer, but I accepted without hesitation.

"It's the biggest moment in my life and I want to be the man who changes history. I'll do that with these fists, with one punch -- just watch."
