"F**k Vegas. F**k Vegas serious. I want East Coast next. If they don't give me Ireland, give me East Coast next."https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/700239367667916800 He lost to Diaz and, desperate to right that wrong, accepted a rematch in Vegas. Same weight, more money, different outcome. McGregor is back winning again and is targeting Eddie Alvarez' lightweight title at this weekend's UFC 205. After that, win or lose, who knows? McGregor certainly does not. Asked by BT Sport about the possibility of a Dublin fight in 2017, McGregor revealed he had not even spoken to the promotions new owners [WME-IMG] since their $4.2 billion take-over. He said:
"[Exhaling] I don't even know who runs this damn company no more. "I've never met them... I mean I've met them, to say hello, but they have never met me as a businessman or a business partner. I don't really know what's going on right now. Let's figure out my own stuff. "I'll go in and capture these belts, capture all the money, wrap up the game and then they've got to meet the businessman, and we'll go from there."McGregor will be aiming to walk into that meeting as a two-weight UFC champion. If he beats Alvarez this weekend, he will be truly in a position of power, holding huge PPV numbers and two of the promotion's most coveted belts.
