All eyes are on Conor McGregor’s next move because the ball is firmly in his court following his history-making win over Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205. The Dubliner is the first man hold a title in two different weight classes simultaneously and the possibilities are endless.
McGregor’s coach John Kavanagh has already spoken about who he would like to see The Notorious fight next, but with a baby due in the next few months, it seems that the featherweight and lightweight champion isn’t in any rush.
Who knows what McGregor’s future holds, but as we’ve seen time and time again, ‘Mystic Mac’ has a way of predicting the outcome of fights and the direction of his own future.
In the post-fight press conference , The Notorious told the world exactly what he wanted from the UFC. “Where’s my shares? Where’s my equity? I’ve both belts, a chunk of money and a family. I want ownership, equal share and what I’ve deserved. Bring me on board for real. I’m looking for an equity stake in the company. Bring me on board for real, not just as this you know? I need to be set for life with this. If you want me to be truly in on this then I need to be in on this proper… as owner, you know what I mean. Or have an equity stake in the company. So that’s what I’m looking for”, he said.
While some people might find McGregor’s upcoming ‘corporate takeover’ of the UFC interesting, he did state his intentions back in June of 2014.
Take a look.
