On Wednesday’s UFC 194 conference call with the four fighters comprising the main and co-main events, Conor McGregor got in a few barbs on his competition. And it wasn’t just Jose Aldo that the Irishman was after.
He couldn’t resist taking a free shot at Chad Mendes, whom McGregor beat at UFC 189 after Aldo dropped out with a rib injury.
McGregor, who was cageside at UFC 179 in October of last year when Aldo last defended the featherweight belt against Mendes, was asked if seeing the fight up close in Rio gave him anything to take away from it.
