Connor McGregor has never been known to be at a loss for words; and after his win over Chad Mendes that saw him win the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) interim featherweight title, it isn't really surprising to hear him brag about it.
Even though many feel that a better prepared fighter (Mendes included) would have made the match more interesting, the Irishman could not care less. In fact he is short of saying that he will take on all comers.
"Jose's a scared little man who did not show up to fight and sat under his covers praying for Chad Mendes to win," says McGregor in an interview.
After it was revealed that McGregor fought with a questionable knee, it was apparent that he would go on criticizing Jose Aldo for not coming out despite his rib injury. And the trash talk will expectedly continue until the time comes the UFC sets both fighters to face off in the Octagon.
Although there is no official word yet on when it will happen, UFC President Dana White did say that both fighters will face off and it will most likely be held in Dallas, Texas. From the looks of it, the match might probably take place at the Dallas Stadium, which offers 100,000 seats.
With a venue that big, could a McGregor vs. Aldo showdown fill it up? Considering the hype and the growing feud between the two, it certainly can happen.
But as McGregor pointed out in an interview with ESPN's Sportscenter show, there are other options as far as a venue is concerned. With that already on the table, it may all boil down to when it will happen. Could it all hinge on when Aldo will be up and about to enter the octagon again?
In the meantime, the Irishman announced that he will focus on coaching Team Europe who will go up against Team USA on The Ultimate Fighter. Such is expected to keep McGregor busy until the official announcement comes out between him and Aldo.
