Conor McGregor trash talk | UFC Betting Sites

Reigning UFC featherweight champion and Irish phenom the “Notorious” Conor McGregor made waves with his speech after winning “Fighter of the Year” at the recent Fighter’s Only Awards show.

Unable to attend the event, McGregor filmed his acceptance speech, in which he called out a majority of the mixed martial arts (MMA) world, specifically heavyweight champion Fabricio “Vai Cavalo” Werdum.

However, it now appears as if Werdum wasn’t the only one bashed by the 145-pound king, as new video footage from Fighter’s Only features McGregor taking shots at Frankie “The Answer” Edgar and Nate Diaz as well.

Edgar, who appears to be next in line at featherweight, has been campaigning for a shot at McGregor for quite some time now, while Diaz called out the Irishman after his most recent win over Michael Johsnon last December.

Check out what the brash McGregor had to say about each man and his money below:

“The who’s who of MMA I’m sure is there in their badly fitted suits, having a penny in their pocket,” McGregor said. “I heard Nate Diaz couldn’t even afford to fly over to Las Vegas for the ceremony. Frankie Edgar… I heard he’s dressed like a little Sheikh servant or something struggling to make a few quid.

“Hard work pays so take notes,” he continued. “Stop holding bitterness deep in your bum soul. Stuck on 20,000 to show and 20,000 to fight. I wipe my ass with that money. I tip your wage in a year.”

Enjoy the full video below:

McGregor is currently slated to take on lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos in the main event of March 5’s UFC 196 from Las Vegas, Nevada.

Edgar will likely get his shot at the “Notorious” one if and when McGregor gets around to defending his featherweight title, and a showdown between McGregor and Diaz could go down in the future given the outcome of UFC 196.

Does McGregor have what it takes to dethrone RDA and simultaneously hold two titles at one time?

Aside from his ferocious knockout ability, UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor has used his relentless and tactical trash talk to seemingly break his opponents.

Scheduled to move up in weight and challenge lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos at March 5’s UFC 196, the “Notorious” one has not changed the script, verbally assaulting the Brazilian champion from the get go at a recent press conference.

Dos Anjos isn’t too pleased with McGregor’s antics, claiming that the Irishman’s style has cast a black cloud over the sport:

“He crosses the line all the time. He answered questions the media asked me, talked about my kids, said I’m not a Brazilian. Man, all the time. He said I’m sloppy. He crosses the line all the time. He’s here to confuse everyone, give the sport a bad image. He thinks it’s nice to dress up like a drug dealer. I don’t think that’s a nice way to promote a fight. That doesn’t add anything to the sport. Georges St-Pierre always sold well as a champion doing exactly the opposite.” dos Anjos told MMAFighting.

While McGregor’s talk certainly adds an entertainment value to a fight, he has also used it to get into the mind of his opponent before the two even step foot inside the cage. While previous opponents have fought hard to keep the “Notorious” one out of their heads, dos Anjos admits that McGregor is on his mind constantly.

However, the Brazilian ensures that he will dominate come fight night:

“Every opponent gets inside my head because I think about them for three of four months. He’s in my head just like every other opponent before. I wake up thinking about him, I go to the gym thinking about him. That’s how he’s in my head. Nate Diaz pushed me at the weigh-in, but I fight even better when my opponents make it personal. I will dominate him.”

In a clash of two champions, McGregor will look to make history by becoming the first man to simultaneously hold two titles.

Can he get through the bulldozing dos Anjos?
