Everybody asks 'would you fight Conor McGregor?' - of course I'd fight Conor McGregor but it's not because of the money. It's because he's such a huge martial artist and everybody considers themselves the best if you fight Conor McGregor, if you beat Conor McGregor. I look at it like that.

Stephen Thompson

What happens at McGregor's team is that they all talk like Conor McGregor but they don't do what he does. They try to do it. They gain notoriety by talking, and that's a mistake.

Patricio Freire

For Conor McGregor, I'm coming out of retirement just to fight Conor McGregor.

Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

If you go into a negotiating room and are like, 'Well I was on the same card as Conor McGregor, so maybe I should get a little bit more money,' they'll probably just look at you like, 'What? In what universe does that even make sense?' So I don't see how anyone could possibly think it's going to be a trickle-down effect.

Aljamain Sterling

I'll beat a bunch of good guys, and then I'll get a ton of fans come up to me and go, 'Do you think you can beat Conor McGregor?' And I'm like, 'Oh my God. You guys are disillusioned.' They think because this man's popular he's good.

Eddie Alvarez

I'm the original Conor McGregor. I'm the original model of Conor McGregor. He wouldn't be who he is if it wasn't for me. Nothing against him. I'm the original real deal.

Nick Diaz

I'm not a guy that's gonna go out there and not be me and be fake and talk a bunch of crap.

Who cares if the locker room would embrace Conor McGregor. If Conor McGregor can be a revenue driver for WWE, if he can sell network subscriptions, or if he can sell thousands and tens of thousands of tickets, if he can move millions of T-shirts, who cares if anybody in the locker room likes it or doesn't like it.

Paul Heyman

I know of Conor McGregor. This sport has evolved even from when I first entered the octagon. I think people are finding out that you have to talk the talk, and you have to - more importantly, you have to walk the walk.

Brock Lesnar

These guys talk when I'm injured, but when I'm healthy, where are these guys? Tony or Conor, it doesn't matter. Or maybe they're going to fight it each other? It doesn't matter.

Khabib Nurmagomedov

I was as much at first probably against Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather as anyone else but... as soon as I turned off the purity of the combat sports thing, this is a business. Guys, we're all trying to make a living, we're all trying to entertain people and guess what, it's the second-biggest PPV in history regardless of how you feel about it.

Mauro Ranallo

I'm employee No. 3,467. I'm not a Jon Jones, I'm not a Conor McGregor. Guys like us, we've just got to step up to the plate when they call us and do what they ask and get it done.

Corey Anderson

To be honest with you, Conor McGregor at 170, I think he's just going to be thrown around like a little rag doll.

Stephen Thompson

That to me is a bunch of crap trying to shoot guys up into damned space. What they're going to do is they're going to wipe out half a dozen people one of these days, and that will be the end of it.
