Conor McGregor: ‘I’m living the whatever the f**k I want life’
Conor McGregor took time out from preparation for his upcoming lightweight title challenge to give an in-depth interview with Severe MMA.
The Dublin fighter was in imperious form, happy to agree and cite his record when it was suggested he was now calling the shots in the UFC.
“When you can rack up $400m in revenue for the company, you can do whatever the f**k you want,” he said. “I’m living the whatever the f**k I want life.
“Whatever I want, whenever I want. I have earned that through hard work, through sacrifice and through victory.”
McGregor fights Rafael Dos Anjos in March for the UFC lightweight title, hoping to add it to his existing featherweight belt.
And he doesn’t intend for it to end there.
“I’m coming for the belt, then I’m coming for the next belt - I’m coming for the whole company.”

He continued: “There’s pussies everywhere in this game. I’m here to fight, I’m here to win every belt and then I’m gone.
“I’ll walk away from this game - I’ll set it ablaze and walk away.”
But he has no plans to break away from the UFC to fight, insisting that he is loyal and happy to work with the company and boss Dana White.
He also reiterated his desire to fight once more in his hometown, even if it meant smaller crowds.
“I’ll go back to The O2 no problem or The 3Arena. I’ll go back there and fight, I don’t care if it’s nine thousand or whatever.”
