"I said some stuff that I didn't mean (in the post-fight press conference)", Mousasi said.
"Yeah. I've seen the people dressing up as clowns".
"I get that he's frustrated - $75,000 is a lot of money". I think that's the main ingredient to what makes a champion and I think that's what he's missing. MMA for me is about my life, about my blood and about everything I do all my life.
"I always had my mind made up". "I don't think that's something that I would be doing, but of course, I have a contract".
"I have never been in a cage before fighting UFC before". Eight-and-a-half years I've gone undefeated. "She drags him to the dance floor and they start dancing and I'm like 'Oh, here we go, just another insane story.' Ronaldo is there".
McGregor continues to tell fans he will be making a huge announcement that they will not want to miss and he continued to generate some buzz this week.
Aldo recently revealed that Dana White encouraged him to stay quiet when it comes to backing a potential fighter's union, as he would get a "bigger slice of the pie" when compared to some of his fellow colleagues. Four times Alvarez didn't take this fight.
McGregor, 28, is under contract with the UFC, and any potential fight against Mayweather (or anyone else) would have had to involve a co-promotion or the UFC's blessing. He didn't like it, so he responded and sent me a message then I responded. McGregor understands, 'Wow, this guy can beat Alvarez.' He can put new rules.
However, as Aldo agitated for a rematch for his belt, he took several needless pops at McGregor.
"I would be scared, too".
"I truly believe it would have been a win-win scenario if I would have fought in Toronto. But first of all UFC use my name".
"If I had no contracts, if I had nothing binding me, nothing forcing my hand, I don't think I'd have the motivation to fight right now", Aldo said. No third parties. Nothing left to interpretation.
A few weeks ago, White made it clear that a Mayweather-McGregor fight would have to involve - at the very least - punches, kicks and elbows.
