Conor McGregor has become the first UFC fighter to hold the title in two weight divisions simultaneously, and he’s not afraid to brag about it.

After beating reigning champion Eddie Alvarez, the Dublin fighter was most concerned with putting on his two belts for the Madison Square Garden crowd.

In the expletive-ridden post-fight interview, McGregor was asked if there were any surprises during the fight.

“Not one bit was surprising, they are not at my level.

“They have got to have size, reach, length, you have got to have some attributes. If you come in any way equal to me I am going to rip your head off, it happens every time.

“Eddie is a solid competitor, Eddie is a warrior, but he shouldn’t have been in here with me and that’s just the truth of it.

“It has never been done before. Everything I have dreamed is a reality.”

“I have spent a lot time of time slating everyone in the company. I have ridiculed the entire roster and I just want to say from the bottom, I want to take this opportunity to apologise…to absolutely nobody!”
