Conor McGregor takes shots at Nate Diaz, Frankie Edgar during MMA Awards acceptance speech

UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor slammed heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum after winning the Fighter of the Year award at the 2016 World MMA Awards in Las Vegas, but he also turned his focus to two other UFC stars while accepting another award.

In a pre-recorded video that wasn’t showed at The Venetian Theatre, "The Notorious" aimed at Nate Diaz and featherweight contender Frankie Edgar after being awarded the International Fighter of the Year.

"The who’s who of MMA I’m sure is there in their badly fitted suits, having a penny in their pocket," McGregor said.
