Conor McGregor continued his tear of the featherweight division last night at UFC 178, extending his UFC record to 4-0, and his win streak to 12. <\/p>\n

On the main card of the event, he TKO’d Dustin Poirier in the first round with a well placed hook behind the ear.<\/p>\n

In the post-fight press conference, McGregor took shots at featherweight champion Jose Aldo, #1 contender Chad Mendes, and the rest of the division.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe division seems to be full of rookies and has-beens,\u201d McGregor said. \u201cI\u2019m just sitting here enjoying myself, collecting these checks on my way, eliminating each one.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

McGregor also stated that he would be attending UFC 179, which features a headlining bout between champion Jose Aldo, and Chad Mendes. When asked how he would fair against either man, ‘Notorious’ replied:<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe I will dismantle both of them. Chad is a 5-foot-6, overblown \u2013 he should be a 125er, but he\u2019s gone past that limit now. Now he\u2019s just a little small bodybuilder stuck in the 145-pound division, and he gets tired quick. He\u2019s 5-foot-6 with a 65-inch reach. I have an eight-inch reach advantage on him. I tower over him. I would maul Chad.<\/p>\n

\u201cJose is in this situation where he has got to a stage where he\u2019s happy with his level. \u2026 I feel he\u2019s in that pattern of deterioration. Again, another easy win.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Who do you want to see McGregor face next?<\/p>\n
