Helwani also asked "The Notorious" what he thought about the fact that his title fight against Jose Aldo will be the main event at UFC 189, with the welterweight championship bout between Robbie Lawler and Rory MacDonald resigned to co-main event status.
"Renan Barao fought Urijah Faber and Jose Aldo fought Ricardo Lamas," McGregor said, in reference to the rarity of a lower weight-class featuring later on a card than a heavier division.
"When that fight went on, I said 'you're the pound for pound co-main event champion of the world.
"Now he fights the money man, now he fights me. Now we're ahead of the 170lb division. At one point in time the 170lb division was the division.
"Now it's the 145lb division and it's not actually the 145lb division. It's the McGregor division. Wherever I go, I'll be ahead of whoever's on the card."Explore more on these topics:
