“Remember last time they rushed to his house the next morning because he was all upset or whatever, but I was pretty insane about it for a couple of days, but it’s whatever to me”.

“My answer to that, to Mayweather and to Conor, let me see some bank statements”, Overeem said on Monday.
“Him and his coach know what happened in the fight”.
How did you score the main event of UFC 202?
McGregor did of course go on to fight at welterweight with mixed results (one win and one loss, both against Nate Diaz) but the toll it takes on him to get to that weight and maintain good cardio might be too much. Diaz owned the third and nearly ended the fight on several occasions, and a 10-8 score in his favor would have been reasonable. At UFC 202, the two rivals slugged it out for five rounds in an instant classic, but it was McGregor who walked away with a majority decision victory.
In a new interview Dana White states that the UFC won’t take the featherweight title from Conor McGregor, but at the same time made it clear that the Irish superstar has to make a final decision on whether he’s going to defend the belt or not. A scrap against lightweight champ Eddie Alvarez would be more interesting because it would allow McGregor to try and become the UFC’s first two-way champ, something he set out to do before Nate Diaz came into the picture courtesy of an injury to then-lightweight champ Rafael Dos Anjos at UFC 196.
Rumours surfacing this weeks suggested that McGregor may be set to face Georges St-Pierre at UFC 205 in NY. Immediately after his second bout with McGregor, Diaz called for a third fight.
“He’s not going to get stripped”, White told NBC Sports Radio. But he lost the fight.
