Conor McGregor’s unique post-fight analysis offers fascinating insight into
“I’ve got some injuries this last fight but I want to heal up, enjoy the holidays, my son’s birthday is coming up so I’m going to take him to Disneyland and that will be my first trip”. The years of not making an effort to better market himself to make the UFC more money is going to bite him in the ass; the UFC will make him win a fight or two before he gets another shot at the title, despite his dominant title run that lasted six years if you count his time as the WEC kingpin. You know you beat them already. It has to be noted Holloway suffered a sprained ankle early in the fight and McGregor ended up with a torn ACL in his knee so neither fighter was truly able to give an A+ performance, but that only spurs the No. 4 ranked bantamweight to want an eventual rematch even more. Diaz exclaimed. “You know what’s the real fight”.
Meanwhile, three highly- rated UFC fighters called out the Irishman over the weekend, with one even calling him “a motherf***er” live on air. “Hell yeah they want it, everybody wants that fight”. “The real fight is here with me – not those other punks”.
Conor McGregor has been saying he wants to come to my division.
Speaking after his UFC 194 victory, the 27-year-old said he was looking forward to having a rare holiday over Christmas and spending some time with his girlfriend Dee Devlin and the rest of his family. I’m not begging for no fight, but we’re talking about big fights. The fighters and the company that promotes them follow the cash flow.
Diaz unleashed an R-rated tirade directed at McGregor after beating Michael Johnson, while dos Anjos suggested McGregor stay put at featherweight where he’d be safe. With dos Anjos not being hurt in this fight, a potential bout between the two is very likely for that timeframe.
It appears as though the best way to get a fight with McGregor is to get the MMA world interested through verbal spats rather than climbing to the top of the ladder.
Diaz, in a post-right interview, offered his X-rated take, translated by Bleacher Report and thoughtfully bleeped by the busy bleep-master at Fox. “They said we have 25 minutes to win the fight, but don’t miss an opportunity”.
