Instead of talking about Holly Holm racking up four awards, including Female Fighter of the Year, Breakthrough Fighter of the Year, Knockout of the Year and Upset of the Year for knocking out Ronda Rousey in November to capture the UFC bantamweight title, McGregor’s acceptance speech after taking Fight of the Year honors is hoarding the headlines.
McGregor pre-recorded his his acceptance speech on his cellphone while driving. He wanted to remind everyone that he has “killed the entire game in two years,” that “nobody”can touch him, that there’s another champion that he has to slay (UFC lightweight title holder Rafael Dos Anjos), that all the other “bums” in MMA aren’t doing what he’s doing, oh, and most importantly, calling UFC heavyweight champ Fabricio Werdum a “pussy” for pulling out of UFC 196 due to a sore toe.
