Conor McGregor borrowed Ronda Rousey's notable "do-nothing" phrase to diss Jose Aldo. The Irish MMA fighter promised to move to lightweight after defeating the long-time featherweight champ, unless Frankie Edgar wins over Chad Mendes.
The way the UFC featherweight champion trashed talked Aldo this time is unbeatable as he used Rousey's "do-nothing b---h." line. According to MMA Fighting, McGregor told reporters on Wednesday at a media event in downtown LA that he's the one who has hurled the featherweight division to be included in the main event.
"Before me, there was no main event featherweight fight. No featherweights would fight in the main event unless the world title was at stake," McGregor claimed. He finished off his statement by criticizing Aldo, "And even then, because Jose is a do-nothing b---h as Ronda would say, he fights very little, it was maybe one or two. Now since I burst on the scene, there are eight, nine, 10 featherweight main events."
Moreover, McGregor is so certain that he'll take down all the featherweights, as mentioned in a report by NESN. He plans to move up to lightweight after his UFC 194 fight with Aldo on December 12. He said, "I'm hoping Jose will show up," He added, "I'm going to retire him, end his career, and then I've done what I've said I'll do. I said I'm going to kill the featherweight division, there's nobody left."
However, he hinted that he'll stay at 145 pounds if Frankie Edgar will beat Chad Mendes on December 11, then McGregor would be delighted to take him down after. McGregor even swore, "If Frankie was to put on a phenomenal performance and stop Chad, or maybe something like that, then I can say, all right, let's answer the Frankie question, let's shut him down real quick."
Moreover, in a report by MMA News, McGregor has already planned to be at the top of the 155- pound category. McGregor also mentioned that the lightweight title is ultimately about having a championship legacy. And he wanted to be on the lightweight since he's already making considerably more money than Rafael dos Anjos and Donald Cerrone. "I wouldn't want to fight a lightweight guy to get the numbers because who the f--k, Rafael has nothing, Donald has nothing," McGregor said.
Meanwhile, it is still early for reports to conclude that McGregor would really come up on the lightweight division. And it's also certain that most of his fans voiced out that they would rather see him stay longer at 145 pounds. Conor McGregor and Jose Aldo's bout will be the main event of UFC 194 on Saturday, December 12, 2015 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
