Eddie Alvarez: Conor McGregor spent $300k on training camp, I could have done that s--t for $5

Sounds like Conor McGregor overpaid (for this) by about $299,995.

That's according to reigning Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez, who watched "Notorious" work his way to a majority decision win over Nate Diaz at the UFC 202 pay-per-view (PPV) event last month in Las Vegas, Nevada.

And he was impressed for roughly seven minutes, according to his conversation with MMA Fighting.

"In a sparring room, there's always a guy, we call him the rest round. [McGregor is] the rest round. He's the guy you grab when you're super tired and you go, ‘Hey, c'mon man, let's do a round.
