Following his historic main event title fight victory over Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205, Irish superstar Conor McGregor dropped some big news.<\/p>\n
“Mystic Mac”, who became the first fighter in UFC history to hold two belts simultaneously after knocking out Eddie Alvarez last night in New York, revealed that he will be soon be a father at last night’s press conference.<\/p>\n
The current UFC lightweight and featherweight champion also stated that he deserves to be a part owner of the UFC going forward. His words.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve got to come talk to me now because no one\u2019s came and talked to me since the sale has happened as a businessman,\u201d McGregor told the media following UFC 205. \u201cI\u2019ve been approached as, \u2018Hello\u2019 and that type of stuff, but I\u2019ve earned something. Who owns the company now? People have shares. Celebrities. Conan O\u2019Brien owns the UFC now. Where\u2019s my share? Where\u2019s my equity? If I\u2019m the one that\u2019s bringing this, they\u2019ve got to come talk to me now. I\u2019ve got both belts, family on the way. If you want me to stick around, if you want me to keep doing (this), let\u2019s talk. But I want the ownership now. I want the equal share. I want what I deserve, what I\u2019ve earned.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n He continued:<\/p>\n \u201cI feel I\u2019ve outworn the previous contract,\u201d McGregor said. \u201cNow it\u2019s time for the real. I know I\u2019m the highest paid already, but when I\u2019m looking at what they\u2019re taking in, that list that Lorenzo (Fertitta) compiled to show the new owners, that\u2019s like the gospel right there. That\u2019s proof of what I bring. You want me to come around, stick around and service that debt and continue to push, bring me on board for real. Not just as this. I need to be set for life for this. If you want me to be truly in on this then I need to be all-in on this, proper. That\u2019s a stake in the company.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n UFC officials did not comment on whether or not they would grant the Irish superstar his wish. However, “Mystic Mac” stated that he is ready to take some time off until his desires are fulfilled.<\/p>\n \u201cTwenty-eight is young, so we\u2019ll see,\u201d McGregor said. \u201cFresh, I am. Not a bother on me. I could go again. I honestly could go again no problem. I\u2019m just going to go chill for a bit, enjoy these two belts and that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n \u201cI could keep going, but I\u2019m aware of my worth. I\u2019ve got a family on the way, I\u2019ve got a kid on the way, and I\u2019m coming for mine now.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Do you think the new UFC owners will give Conor McGregor a stake in the company?
