UFC 205 is roughly six weeks away, but don’t tell that to Conor McGregor, who’s already ripping his opponent.
McGregor is set to fight Eddie Alvarez, and he made sure to let the world know that his counterpart is “blessed” to have been given the opportunity to fight the Irishman.
That’s not much of a surprise, given how cocky McGregor is. What was, though, was Jeremy Stephens, who is also fighting on the UFC 205 card, throwing his name in the hat to fight Conor in the future.
Looks like @LiLHeathenMMA wants a shot at @TheNotoriousMMA too.#UFC205 #UFCNYC https://t.co/4n8RM7lZoQ

Stephens isn’t in McGregor’s class, but it’s clear that every fighter right now wants a piece at the trash-talking Irishman.
