The brash and quick-witted Conor McGregor<\/a> may have just been beaten down for the first time in a verbal battle leading into his UFC 205 bout against Eddie Alvarez.<\/p>\n

During a heated exchange during an interview with FOX Sports<\/a>, Alvarez told McGregor that he isn’t allowed to talk about money because before he reached his superstardom in the UFC, the Irishman used to collect welfare checks.<\/p>\n

\"ufc<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cSpeak the truth (Eddie),”<\/em> McGregor said (transcribed by FOX Sports). “You saw the documents that (former UFC owner) Lorenzo (Fertitta) put together to give to the new owners … 75 per cent of the earning power is me. That\u2019s in writing. Let\u2019s call a spade a spade here,\u201d<\/em> McGregor said of his stardom.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re talking 150,000 buys (without me). With me you\u2019re talking two million buys,”<\/em> McGregor told Alvarez. “Speak the truth.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201c… I\u2019m the reason. It\u2019s nobody else. UFC 202, UFC 196, 194, 189, all record breakers, all smashed previous records. Even this one, the gate, the attendance, of course the pay-per-view, what do you think that is about?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s one common denominator and that\u2019s me. You take me out and there\u2019s 150,000 buys and that is fact. I ain\u2019t bragging here, I’m just stating fact.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Alvarez replied, \u201cthe fighters and the fights are what makes UFC great,<\/em>\u201d and then went in on the UFC featherweight champion’s past.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou were on welfare brah. You ain\u2019t no man, you took welfare,\u201d<\/em> Alvarez said.<\/p>\n

McGregor tried to interject as Alvarez went on.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t you talk about money. Don\u2019t you talk about money,”<\/em> Alvarez instructed.<\/p>\n

“You took money from single moms. Single moms go on welfare, not men.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t talk about money alright. Keep your mouth shut when the talk is about money.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Was Eddie Alvarez’s insult on Conor McGregor going too far?<\/p>\n

Conor McGregor has previously stated<\/a> that “it\u2019s all fair in this business”<\/em> and that “anything goes in this game.”<\/em> <\/p>\n

Luckily for the two champion fighters, the verbal war comes to an end on Saturday as the two will let their fighting in the Octagon do all the talking.<\/p>\n
