Conor McGregor is at it again.

As everyone knows by now, UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos pulled out of his fight with McGregor in the main event of UFC 196 with a foot injury. The UFC called several fighters to see if they wanted to fight McGregor. Frankie Edgar and Donald Cerrone was two of many that wanted the fight. However, the UFC chose Nate Diaz to fight McGregor.

McGregor addressed the fighters that called him out for a fight at Wednesday’s UFC 196 press conference.

“There were many options, but in reality, many people pretended to want this fight until the fight actually presented itself,” McGregor said.

“Frankie didn’t want to shut up, but then when he was given a phone call and a date, then he hasn’t been seen or heard since,” he said. “Jose also! Jose was in camp, apparently preparing in case Dos Anjos pulls out, then all of a sudden Dos Anjos pulls out with his bruised foot, and Jose is not fit!”

McGregor compared the fighters who called him out and then turned down the fight once the UFC called them as sore vaginas.

“They always pull. They always run,” McGregor said. “They always make out like they want it, but really they don’t want it. I was expecting it.”

“They all have sore vaginas lately, it’s crazy,” McGregor said. “There’s something going on, I don’t know. Dos Anjos broke his foot and his vagina in the same damn day. Same with Edgar. I couldn’t believe the odds of that to happen.”

“Everyone wanted it, then everyone didn’t want it. At least Nate was engaging in the conversation, everyone else flat out went running. Instantly he became the front runner.”

McGregor took a shot at dos Anjos for his foot injury (broken foot) and said that he thinks it looks like a bruised foot, not a broken one.

“I looked at the picture that Dos Anjos put up and it’s a bruise,” McGregor said. “I heard ice works wonders.”

“Dos Anjos has a bruise on his foot. Did you see it? It’s a bruise! Ice. Ibuprofen. If I jumped under an X-ray, the doctor would slap me and say, ‘What are you doing kid? Get out of here, stop this.’”

As big as the fight between McGregor and dos Anjos was, McGregor is not as interest it in now. McGregor looked back on history and compared his feud with Anjos to his feud with Jose Aldo as both men turned down the original fight with him.

“It’s hard to commit to Dos Anjos again,” he said. “The same with Jose, he pulled. It took him two goes to build up the courage. Hopefully maybe it could take Dos Anjos two gos to build up the courage. But when you pull out with an injury like that, a bruise on the foot, there’s not much I can do to help you, to bring you back into the mix. It does change a little bit.”

UFC 196 takes place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on March 5 and airs on PPV, FOX Sports 1, and UFC Fight Pass.

Video: Conor McGregor Cusses Out A TMZ Photographer

Conor McGregor does not appear to be a fan of TMZ’s questions. On Thursday, a TMZ photographer asked Conor McGregor if calling Nate Diaz a “cholo” at the UFC 196 press conference was a racist remark. McGregor recognized the photographer as one who previously asked him a question about “beating up Jesus Christ,” and told him to “shut the f–k up” and to get away from him.

It wouldn’t take a genius to predict that a mic battle between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz would be entertaining from start to finish, but I don’t think that any of us could have predicted how balls-to-the-wall bonkers yesterday’s UFC 196 press conference ended up being. Both Ireland and Stockton were represented in full, and the result was a conference that felt less like a media day and more like a Def Jam comedy special. A few choice pull quotes:

McGregor: “I like Nick’s little bro. He’s like a little cholo gangster from the hood, but at the same time, he coaches kids Jiu Jitsu on Sunday morning and goes on bike rides with the elderly. He makes gang signs with the right hand and animal balloons with the left.”

Diaz: “Fuck you.” (this was the majority of Diaz’s trash talk)

Diaz: “You fight midgets.”

McGregor: “Most people, when they get that red panty night, they ring home to their wife, ‘Baby we did it!’ Nate rings Nick, ‘Baby, we did it!'”

Check out a handful of highlights from the conference above, then head after the jump for the whole affair.

The belt aside, it would be safe to say that UFC 196 has arguably become more popular since Diaz agreed to face McGregor. This press conference peaked at 361,000 viewers for Christ’s sake; that’s better ratings than 23 previous WSOF broadcasts on NBC SN. For a press conference. On a Tuesday afternoon.

Meanwhile, Anderson Silva is fighting this weekend and no one gives a fuck. The power of Mystic Mac, ladies and gentlemen.

Conor McGregor Wants The World (Editorial)

After his stunning knockout of Brazilian ace Jose Aldo to claim the UFC featherweight crown, Conor McGregor revealed his larger aspirations in the UFC by hinting that he wanted to try for another belt, specifically the lightweight championship at 155 pounds. He soon got his wish, a scheduled bout between reigning lightweight title holder Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 196. The brash Irishman was seeking to become the first man to hold two belts simultaneously.

However, Dos Anjos pulled out of the fight this week with a foot injury. Rather than a setback to McGregor’s plans, the replacement for Dos Anjos, the vocal Nate Diaz, proved to be an indicator of McGregor’s ambitious goals.

When asked about what weight class he preferred at the UFC Fight Presser today, which is an important question for McGregor since he will fight Diaz at welterweight, he said he wants to create his “own division” in the UFC. Weight classes for McGregor are secondary to fighting. He envisions a UFC where he moves freely between weight classes to fight because the bottom line is seeing who the better fighter is. He will fight anyone who has the courage to face him.

With Diaz replacing Dos Anjos but at welterweight, McGregor shifts to a non-title fight against a relative non-contender (at least for the moment.) For most fighters, a sudden change in weight and styles would be problematic and undesirable. Diaz is taller than McGregor and holds a reach advantage while boasting solid striking ability. True to form, McGregor shows he simply does not care, much the same when Chad Mendes stepped in for Jose Aldo. Last summer when informed of the news of Mendes replacing Aldo he allegedly said, “I don’t care, they’re all the same.” Today at the Presser he said he does not train for certain styles and opponents, he just “trains.”

McGregor wants to prove that he is the superior fighter. Period. Not the best featherweight, or lightweight, or be the first man to hold two belts. He wants to be the best fighter in the world, no questions asked. Any weight, anytime, anywhere. A true pound-for-pound king.

McGregor said so himself in the not so distant past when the UFC ventured to Dublin, “We’re not just here to take part—we’re here to take over.”

Conor McGregor Reacts To Nate Diaz’ Steroid Accusations: That Was Your Team

UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor and his new opponent for March 5’s UFC 196, the polarizing Nate Diaz, met up for a pre-fight press conference earlier today (Wed., February 24, 2016), and not surprisingly, the results produced some noteworthy fireworks.

UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor and his new opponent for March 5’s UFC 196, the polarizing Nate Diaz, met up for a pre-fight press conference earlier today (Wed., February 24, 2016), and not surprisingly, the results produced some noteworthy fireworks.

Much of that came in the form of Diaz’ suggestion that the entire UFC, including ‘Notorious,’ is on steroids, a concern they’ve no doubt had to deal with in full force when a series of drug test failures left them no choice but to enact new and stringent testing policies in conjunction with the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).

But regardless of the testing protocol in place, Diaz still thinks all of the major fighters are using:

“They’re all on steroids. They’re all on steroids. Everybody.”

With the original question about the weight of the fight, which will be contested two weight classes up from McGregor’s normal featherweight, ‘Mystic mac’ used the stage to forcefully reply to Diaz’ accusations:

“I don’t care about weight. Steroids? What you talking about, steroids? Don’t be putting my name in with steroids. Don’t put my name in the name of steroids, Nate. The only weight I give a fuck about is the weight of them checks, and my checks are always super heavyweight, so I don’t give a shit.”

McGregor then referred back to Diaz’ profanity-filled callout of McGregor following his win over Michael Johnson at UFC on FOX 17, noting that he hasn’t ‘taken what Diaz has worked for’ and has worked hard for everything he’s earned in the fight game:

“He talks like I took something from him; that’s what he said after the fight, ‘I’ve taken everything he’s worked for.’ I work like a motherfucker. I don’t get out of shape; he gets out of shape. His fight against dos Anjos, he looked like the skinniest fat guy I’ve ever seen in my life. The last fight he came in in shape. This time now the fact that he’s asking for weight changes all the time, I’d imagine he probably got out of shape again, so I took none from him, I work hard. I work hard, and that’s it.”

While there isn’t much doubt that Diaz was definitely out of shape when he lost a one-sided decision to the lightweight champ back at UFC on FOX 13, Diaz didn’t seem to care about the criticism. Instead, he stuck to his initial stance that the entirety of the UFC was on PEDs:

“Everybody’s on steroids, the whole UFC, everybody.”

McGregor was visibly upset when that came out, and he had a stinging reply ready to go. Read on to the next page to find out what ‘The Notorious’ came back at Diaz with….

What a wild press conference that was. Both Conor McGregor (19-2) and Nate Diaz (18-10) put on a show for the fans today with the back-and-forth verbal jabs.

Nate Diaz threw a wild accusation that Conor McGregor and every other fighter use’s steroids in the UFC.

“Everybody is on steroids,” Diaz said at the press conference. “The whole UFC.”

McGregor did not take the accusation lightly and reminded Nate Diaz that his teammates Gilbert Melendez and Jake Shields were caught for PED use.

“I’m not on no steroids,” McGregor said. “What the [expletive] are you talking about? Your two teammates were on steroids.”

Diaz did not respond to what McGregor said about Melendez and Shields but was firm about his stance that McGregor was on steroids.

Dana White later said to TMZ that Diaz was wrong and the UFC has the best anti-doping program in sports. The UFC president said that fighters would be caught if anyone was using PEDs. UFC 196 is slated to take place March 5th at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
