Conor McGregor is quickly making a name for himself under the UFC. After starting his professional career in 2008, he was rapidly accumulated 14 wins with 2 losses since then. Starting 2011, McGregor started an undefeated streak of 11 wins. Because of this, he was been gaining a massive amount of attention from UFC fans.
His recent fight with Diego Brandão put him on the spot as he finished the fight in a little over 4 minutes. After the said fight, he vowed that he will take on every fighter that will stand on his way to achieve his dream of being the featherweight champion.
"I personally have a vision of myself as the world champion by the end of the year. And I've heard Dana say 'he won't be world champion by the end of the year,' but who knows?"
He added "I had a clear vision, like I had this vision that I was going to bring these [fight cards] back here when I first got the opportunity. Like I got the vision at UFC 93, I was going to be the guy to get in there and deal with. The same vision I had then, I have now. Who knows what can happen? Injuries happen in this game, and all I know is I stay ready. I'm looking to get as quick a turnaround as possible and climb that division, one by one."
"I will eliminate the whole division. When I am finished, there will be nobody left."
McGregor said he'll welcome a fight with Poirier although he knew that Poirier is not interested in facing him.
He said "That'll be perfect for me because I already know that guy doesn't want to fight. His teammate, Cole Miller, pulled out of the fight. He was scheduled to be here to compete tonight. He pulled out, and you're trying to tell me Dustin Poirier, a top-10 guy, Nik Lentz, a top-10 guy, both of whom had no fights scheduled, didn't know about Cole's injury? They would've known before the UFC would've known ... And yet nothing."
He added "I know he doesn't want that fight. He can pretend that he wants that fight and send out his little tweets about this and that, but let's do it. One by one, I will take every single one of them out. If next in line is Dustin, that's no problem."
