Conor McGregor takes aim at Aldo, Faber, Mendes and pretty much everybody at LA event

No one is safe

Well, everyone except Cub Swanson.

Conor McGregor did a snapchat Q&A in Los Angeles today and it seemed like his sole mission from the event was to score some points over his rivals.

He got the ball rolling by making the obligatory “Aldo is ducking me” dig. Admittedly, a cheap one, but he was merely getting the ball rolling.

Urijah Faber, his opposing coach on TUF 22 was next to feel the full wrath of McGregor’s venomous-tongue. He wheeled out an immaculate burn at the California Kid’s expense which managed to reference both his advanced years and his dress sense.

Next up, the man he defeated at UFC 189 to claim that coveted golden strap, Chad Mendes. McGregor brutally knocked out the Team Alpha Male product in the second round of their scrap in July. Two months later, he’s still kicking him while he’s down.

Finally, we take a trip up to the 155lb division, where McGregor opened fire at the earning power of the two men involved in the next lightweight title fight. Champion Rafael dos Anjos has talked smack about the Notorious in the past before, which the Dubliner reckons might have something to do with his salary.

He went a little easier on contender Donald Cerrone.

Looking back over some of those quotes, it appears as though Joseph Duffy got off lightly.
