If you want Conor McGregor money, you'll have to put in McGregor work.
Ireland's McGregor, who is currently scheduled to fight Eddie Alvarez for the lightweight title in a champion vs. champion superfight at UFC 205, went off on the entire UFC roster on Monday in a video posted on his YouTube channel – The Mac Life.
McGregor was asked in the video if his opponent Alvarez mattered in his quest to make UFC history and become a two-division champion, to which McGregor replied with a simple 'no.' But McGregor's answer didn't end there, as he went on to address the fighters that have spoken against his lightweight title shot.
"No [Alvarez doesn't matter], he just has the belt," McGregor said. "That's it. That's the only reason he's there. After, I'm going to be struggling to see who's next. Really, who the f*ck is next? Who has gone out there time and time again, back-to-back-to-back, putting it all on the line and continuing to show up?
"They all say I'm all talk, but I look at them and say they're all talk because I'm here fighting every week. I even had to fight a guy three times the size of me, and now, I'm back again. All they do is complain, b*tch and moan. You want this money? You want what I got? You have to put in the f*cking work. And as far as I'm seeing, nobody is putting in the work. Everyone is talking, everyone is thinking just cause Conor has it, I should have it. No, no. I didn't always have it. There is a reason why I have it. I had to work my f*cking bollocks off to get it, and here I am, still working while they're talking."
McGregor is getting a crack at the 155-pound belt coming off a welterweight majority decision win over Nate Diaz back in August at UFC 202, an event which broke the UFC pay-per-view record. His upcoming title fight at UFC 205 marks McGregor's first lightweight bout in the UFC.
