"God-willing, I came out of here unscathed, I'm in shape. I'd not say I'm there yet; I've still got work to do, to get back to where I was. "So, I'm going to party tonight, spend time with my family, celebrate, and get back into the gym then and train. "And any one of these mouthy fools can get it, even that little fool at the desk. All them. Every single one of them can get it, Joe, it does not matter. I'm back and I'm ready."https://twitter.com/jedigoodman/status/1218771928766267392 UFC president Dana White feels McGregor will gun for that lightweight title of Khabib Nurmagomedov and a rematch from their October 2018 fight. McGregor's comments suggest he will not wait around for 'The Eagle' to conclude his business with Tony Ferguson in April. UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal, holder of the B.M.F belt, were both in attendance at the event, in Las Vegas, at the cameras quickly flashed to them for reactions: https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/1218770075517423616 The surprise, and specific, call-out from McGregor was directed at 'that little fool at the desk'. That was in reference to Paul 'The Irish Dragon' Felder. Felder was on the commentary desk, just outside The Octagon, for the UFC and was calling the main event. The 34-year-old Philadelphia native is 17-4 in his MMA career and fights at both lightweight and welterweight. Ahead of the fight, Felder had expressed concern that the hand McGregor broke last summer could hinder him against Cerrone. McGregor is a sponge for the fight game, and the commentary around it, so it would be no surprise if he had heard some Felder comments and banked them. Felder was somewhat taken aback to be called out by McGregor but declared he would be more than willing to take 'The Notorious' on after he is done with Dan Hooker in his next bout, on February 23. McGregor versus 'The Irish Dragon' Felder later this year? We did not see that one coming.
