Too Far? Conor McGregor Declares RDA Broke His Foot & V***** In The Same Day
Conor McGregor is at it again.
As everyone knows by now, UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos pulled out of his fight with McGregor in the main event of UFC 196 with a foot injury. The UFC called several fighters to see if they wanted to fight McGregor. Frankie Edgar and Donald Cerrone was two of many that wanted the fight. However, the UFC chose Nate Diaz to fight McGregor.
McGregor addressed the fighters that called him out for a fight at Wednesday’s UFC 196 press conference.
“There were many options, but in reality, many people pretended to want this fight until the fight actually presented itself,” McGregor said.
“Frankie didn’t want to shut up, but then when he was given a phone call and a date, then he hasn’t been seen or heard since,” he said. “Jose also! Jose was in camp, apparently preparing in case Dos Anjos pulls out, then all of a sudden Dos Anjos pulls out with his bruised foot, and Jose is not fit!”
McGregor compared the fighters who called him out and then turned down the fight once the UFC called them as sore vaginas.
“They always pull. They always run,” McGregor said. “They always make out like they want it, but really they don’t want it. I was expecting it.”
“They all have sore vaginas lately, it’s crazy,” McGregor said. “There’s something going on, I don’t know. Dos Anjos broke his foot and his vagina in the same damn day. Same with Edgar. I couldn’t believe the odds of that to happen.”
“Everyone wanted it, then everyone didn’t want it. At least Nate was engaging in the conversation, everyone else flat out went running. Instantly he became the front runner.”
McGregor took a shot at dos Anjos for his foot injury (broken foot) and said that he thinks it looks like a bruised foot, not a broken one.
“I looked at the picture that Dos Anjos put up and it’s a bruise,” McGregor said. “I heard ice works wonders.”
“Dos Anjos has a bruise on his foot. Did you see it? It’s a bruise! Ice. Ibuprofen. If I jumped under an X-ray, the doctor would slap me and say, ‘What are you doing kid? Get out of here, stop this.'”
As big as the fight between McGregor and dos Anjos was, McGregor is not as interest it in now. McGregor looked back on history and compared his feud with Anjos to his feud with Jose Aldo as both men turned down the original fight with him.
“It’s hard to commit to Dos Anjos again,” he said. “The same with Jose, he pulled. It took him two goes to build up the courage. Hopefully maybe it could take Dos Anjos two gos to build up the courage. But when you pull out with an injury like that, a bruise on the foot, there’s not much I can do to help you, to bring you back into the mix. It does change a little bit.”
UFC 196 takes place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on March 5 and airs on PPV, FOX Sports 1, and UFC Fight Pass.
