It may have seemed that UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor couldn’t get any more brash or outspoken in his instant-classic media quips, but heading into his historic bid to become the first simultaneous two-division champion when he faces Rafael dos Anjos at March’s 5 UFC 197, just that is actually transpiring.
As usual, ‘Notorious’ ramped up the promotion for the blockbuster affair as only he can do at a press conference this week, promising to ‘dust dos Anjos’ in one minute and go on to win the welterweight crown, but he also may have crossed a line when he brought race into the equation by calling ‘RDA’ a traitor to his Brazilian country men due to him moving his family and camp to California.
McGregor has, of course, brought Brazil into the mix before his highly hyped promotion for his 13-second of Jose Aldo at last December 12’s UFC 194, but this time it’s gotten personal. Dos Anjos understandably isn’t too pleased with the accusations, and he lashed out at McGregor at the event.
