Under post-fight presskonferensen för UFC 178 hade Conor McGregor (16-2) inte mycket gott att säga om de övriga fjäderviktarna. ”The division seems to be full of rookies and has-beens, I’m just sitting here enjoying myself, collecting these checks on my way, eliminating each one.” Speciellt hårda ord riktades från McGregor mot den nuvarande högst rankade utmanaren på bältet Chad Mendes (16-1).
”Chad is a 5-foot-6, overblown. He should be a 125er, but he’s gone past that limit now. Now he’s just a little small bodybuilder stuck in the 145-pound division, and he gets tired quick. He’s 5-foot-6 with a 65-inch reach. I have an eight-inch reach advantage on him. I tower over him. I would maul Chad.”
”Conor can get on a plane to Brazil, go to his 3rd row seat, grab a bowl of lucky charms and witness excellence,”
”He (Mendes) is a little shorta** – a little shorta**. Whatever, we’ll see how the fight goes. We’ll be there and we’ll see what he says when we’re face to face, man to man. We won’t be eye to eye, though. We’ll be bellybutton to eye.
”I’d say something else but I won’t go there.”
