Freshly-minted undisputed UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor (pictured) wasn’t anywhere near Amway Center in Orlando for UFC on FOX 17, but his presence could still be sensed throughout the arena.
If you’re a featherweight or lightweight, McGregor is the big money fight you’re targeting. Guess what? McGregor knows it and wasn’t shy about pointing it out after being called out by Nate Diaz and UFC lightweight champ Rafael dos Anjos on Saturday.
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.
