Conor McGregor Inducts Himself Into UFC Hall of Fame
Fight fans can always count on UFC featherweight champion the “Notorious” Conor McGregor to captivate the MMA world with his brash and outspoken rants and trash talk.
Coming off of a breathtaking 13 second knockout victory over former divisional kingpin Jose Aldo at UFC 194, it didn’t seem as if it could get much bigger for the Irish superstar.
However, McGregor is now set to take on reigning lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos at March 5’s UFC 196 in an attempt to become the first man in promotional history to simultaneously hold two titles.
Taking to his official twitter account earlier today (February 1, 2016), the “Notorious” one said that he was pleased to give fans back to back super fights, taking a shot at heavyweights Fabricio Werdum and Cain Velasquez in the process:
It’s with ease, and with pleasure, that I gift the fans, and the company, back to back super-fights.

In a time where entire cards get flushed down the toilet over a sore toe.

Werdum was scheduled to defend his title against Velasquez on February 6, 2016, but after the former champion pulled out with a back injury, “Vai Cavalo” withdrew as well, leaving the UFC with no choice but to place the card on FOX Sports 1.
Continuing on, McGregor once again reiterated his oft-spoke idea that he has the fight game in the palm of his hands:
The game is on its knees and I’m on a throne.

From the board of control to the prelims.

In conclusion, the knockout artist left us with his usual humor, implying that he had self-inducted himself into the UFC Hall of Fame:
I’m happy to announce that I have inducted myself into the UFC hall of fame.

McGregor has experienced a rapid rise to the pinnacle of mixed martial arts, and he appears to be like none other.
At only 27 years of age, will the “Notorious” continue to expand and grow as the face of the UFC?
