Conor McGregor slams Fabricio Werdum after winning Fighter of the Year award

Conor McGregor gets his digs in, even when he's just a face on a big screen.

After the Irish sensation received the Fighter of the Year award at the 2016 World MMA Awards in Las Vegas, the room turned its attention to the front of the room, where the UFC featherweight champ gave his acceptance speech via pre-recorded video.

"I apologize for not being there," McGregor said. "There's another man that must be slain, another champion that must be dethroned. There's more numbers that need to be broken. I need to feed all you bums. I need to feed every single one of yous in the game, so I've got to keep working, because yous bums don't work.
