And you thought McGregor beating Alvarez was the biggest story of the day!
Like every other damn thing in his life, Conor McGregor’s post-fight press conferences are never ever dull.
First there was the news of his impending fatherhood and the danger in store for his jocks…

..then there was his plans to take a break, to no doubt get ready for that momentous development in his life…
McGregor: I'm going to have this baby and take some time.

and then this unequivocal message to the UFC bigwigs.
“Bring me on board for real, not just as this you know? I need to be set for life with this. If you want me to be truly in on this then I need to be in on this proper… as owner, you know what I mean. Or have an equity stake in the company. So that’s what I’m looking for.”

Earlier in the press conference, McGregor said:
“Where’s my shares? Where’s my equity? I’ve both belts, a chunk of money and a family. I want ownership, equal share and what I’ve deserved. Bring me on board for real. I’m looking for an equity stake in the company”.
He’s said it before but never quite as definite or comprehensively as this – Conor McGregor wants an equity slice of the UFC pie and he means business.
