"The world title is next."

One minute and 46 seconds was all it took, and Conor McGregor promise to whoop 'Dustin Poirier's ass' rang true throughout the Octagon in Las Vegas. “This is the new age," he said to UFC commentator Joe Rogan after the fight. “I wanted to come over here to America and show the American public the new era of the fighting Irish and I brought my whole country with me. If one of us goes to war, we all go to war. “You know what’s next. That world title is next. I’m gonna fly to Brazil if they want. I’ll eliminate Chad ‘Mini’ Mendez and step in and give the fans what they want — Aldo versus McGregor. "Or you know we could come back and fill that football stadium [the Aviva]. Come on over, we’ll whup them on home soil or away soil. It’s no problem.” conor20 conor19 conor15 conor14 conor13 conor12 conor11 conor10 conor9 conor8 conor7 conor6 conor5 conor4 conor3 conor2 conor1 Photo credit: Ricardo Guglielminotti / Custom Captures
