Conor McGregor Issues WARNING to Shevchenko: “He’ll F**king Kill You” Over Dakota!
In a dramatic escalation of tensions, Conor McGregor has issued a fiery warning to UFC flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko, threatening severe consequences over an apparent dispute involving Dakota Ditcheva. The outburst occurred on Friday, June 13, 2025, at 04:50 PM +07, during a live session on McGregor’s social media, sending shockwaves through the MMA community.
The Explosive Threat
McGregor, the outspoken former two-division champion, took to Instagram Live to confront Shevchenko, referencing Ditcheva, a rising PFL star and McGregor’s rumored protege. “Valentina, you better watch yourself,” McGregor raged. “He’ll f**king kill you over Dakota—stay out of it!” The “he” in question remains unclear, with speculation pointing to McGregor himself or a member of his SBG Ireland team, though no specific individual was named. The warning appears tied to a rumored rivalry, possibly stemming from Shevchenko’s recent comments dismissing Ditcheva’s potential challenge.
Ditcheva, with an undefeated 6-0 record, has been gaining attention after her PFL title win, and McGregor has publicly backed her as a future UFC star. Shevchenko, holding a 23-4 record and defending her 125-pound belt against Manon Fiorot at UFC 306, may have crossed a line with her critique, prompting McGregor’s volatile reaction.
Context of the Feud
The feud’s origins are murky, but it may relate to a promotional clash or personal slight. Shevchenko has been vocal about protecting her division, recently stating, “No one from PFL is ready for me,” which could have irked McGregor, who sees Ditcheva as part of his legacy. McGregor’s history of protecting his inner circle, seen in past feuds with Khabib Nurmagomedov, suggests he views this as a personal affront.
Fans on X are buzzing, with reactions ranging from amusement—“Conor’s gone full drama king again!”—to concern—“This could get ugly if he means it.” Shevchenko has not yet responded, but her camp is expected to address the threat soon.
Implications for the UFC
The warning adds a layer of intrigue to an already heated flyweight division. With Shevchenko’s title defense looming, McGregor’s involvement could pressure UFC matchmaking, potentially setting up a future Shevchenko-Ditcheva bout if Ditcheva joins the UFC. McGregor’s influence, bolstered by his Forged Irish Stout sponsorship, gives his words significant weight, though his legal and personal issues might limit his direct involvement.
UFC president Dana White declined to comment, but insiders suggest the promotion may monitor the situation closely to avoid escalation.
What’s Next?
As UFC 306 nears, the MMA world watches to see if Shevchenko will retaliate or if McGregor will follow through on his threat. Will this ignite a cross-promotional rivalry, or fade as another McGregor headline? The outcome hinges on the next moves from both camps.
