The Conor McGregor show continues and this time he uses his pull to change the official poster for his fight against UFC featherweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos.
At last month’s RDA-McGregor press conference McGregor arrived 15 minutes late and noticed that he didn’t have a title in front of him at the table. This didn’t sit well with Conor:
“Where is my damn belt?” McGregor said. “This is a superfight. I look up on that poster, I see myself tucked in the back there. I see a guy (dos Anjos) who, his last gate was $1.7 million. He fought on free TV. He’s never brought a dime to this company. He’s never made a dime. Yet, he’s sitting there on the front of my poster. I think that’s a department that needs to be looked at. Somebody is sleeping on the job.
“This is a superfight. Where are all these historic images? These are posters that will be looked back on long after it’s all said and done. And then you’ve got to look back on that absolute garbage. So, I think I might have to go into that department, because they must be getting comfortable in that poster department. They ought to get their act together and start doing their damn job.”
It looks like Conor finally made some time to create his own poster because the event not only has a new number, UFC 196, but also two championship belts.
