Conor McGregor showed he can make some noise in the featherweight division. The Irishman, who knocked out the Brazilian Diego Brandao last Saturday, he wants to face one of the candidates for the category title who both criticize him and Chad Mendes e Cub swanson, and wants to do it in a stadium in Ireland.
“A dream come true, coming in and hearing the noise of the crowd. It was so loud that it was no longer sounding, it was no longer sound. It was like it became just a buzzing sound. We Irish have a talent for this. I'm very proud of the Irish people, who showed up and showed that we are a nation that supports MMA. I believe football stadiums are the next step. Everything here is sold in record time. I don't know how long the José Aldo he will be out, but we are going to bring one of these would-be number one challengers here and see if they are real, and fill a stadium”, he said.
Despite McGregor's interest, UFC president Dana White rejected the idea of going to a stadium in Ireland, citing erratic weather as a complicating factor.
