Even when Conor McGregor isn't in the actual building, he still manages to create waves. On Friday, McGregor was named Fighter of the Year at the 2016 World MMA Awards, but since he couldn't make it because he's currently training for his upcoming fight against Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 196, The Notorious recorded his acceptance speech.
Here's a transcript of his speech, courtesy of MMA Fighting.
We know you have questions, so let's attack this thing with some bullet points.
- Yes, McGregor was talking about the MMA fighters in attendance when he said, "I need to feed you bums."
- Yes, someone did awkwardly clap after he said, "You bums don't work."
- The heavyweight champion he's talking about is Fabricio Werdum, who pulled out of his upcoming fight because of a "cracked" toe and a strained back, not a sore toe.
- And yes, he thanked himself at the end.
