Conor McGregor made UFC history but was raging and gave iconic post-fight interview

Conor McGregor’s bold post-fight interviews have often become blockbuster hits in their own right but one might go down in history.

In 2016, McGregor ruled the UFC as king and proved it in the Octagon when he became the first person to hold two titles in different weight classes at the same time.

His victory over Eddie Alvarez to land the lightweight title at Madison Square Garden saw him land the belt, adding to his featherweight title by knocking out Jose Aldo in 13 seconds.

And the Notorious did so in remarkably simple fashion, dropping the defending champion three times before stopping the contest after 3:04 of the second.

With the adrenaline still running through his veins, McGregor delivered an unforgettable moment after his win.

He made have made history, but he was fuming at having to wait for his belt.

“They should have had both those belts ready and spit-shined for me. It’s never been done before,” he told commentator Joe Rogan who was trying to interview the UFC history maker.

As Rogan tried to interview McGregor, he did not appear to be too fussed about having a chat and was more interested in holding his two titles on his shoulders.

Already dressed in his featherweight belt, the UFC legend went on an x-rated rant.

“Where the f*** is my second belt? I’ve already got this one.

He finally got the belts and liked what he saw

“Where’s the second one at, cheap motherf*****? $4.2 billion this company was sold for. Where’s that second belt? Go backstage and grab that motherf*****.

“I already won and they’re trying to take that one on me already. What the f***?”

Then, eyeing himself on the big screen when finally holding both, shouted ‘oh yeah that looks good’.

But it was the post-fight interview that has since become legendary.

“I’ve spent a lot of time slaying everyone in the company,” he told Rogan.

“Backstage I’m starting fights with everybody. I’ve ridiculed everyone on the roster.

“And I’d just like to say from the bottom of my heart, I’d like to take this chance to apologise… to absolutely nobody!”

Draped in the Irish flag, he blew the roof off the place.

He then made a load of money from boxing Floyd Mayweather in 2017, which he lost and couldn’t get back in the win column on his return to the cage in 2018.

His bitter rival Khabib Nurmagomedov submitted him in their lightweight title match at UFC 229, an event more memorable for the brawl afterwards.

He’s not fought since his loss to Dustin Poirier in 2021 but fans need him back behind the microphone soon.
