Please stop asking UFC champ Eddie Alvarez about that 'sloppy' Irish dude

Reigning Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) featherweight champion Conor McGregor stayed put at welterweight to rematch Nate Diaz at the UFC 202 pay-per-view (PPV) event last Sat. night (Aug. 20, 2016) in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he captured a hard-fought majority decision win (watch it).

Following a "sloppy" performance, according to 155-pound kingpin Eddie Alvarez.

But there's a very strong possibility that McGregor abandons his featherweight post for a crack at the lightweight crown, which means the talking heads in the mixed martial arts (MMA) media will be peppering him with questions about his "Notorious" challenger.
