5 times Conor McGregor proved to be the cockiest fighter ever

#2 Conor McGregor asked for his featherweight belt

Conor McGregor after his win against Eddie Alvarez

Conor McGregor defeated Eddie Alvarez to not only become the UFC lightweight champion but also the first fighter to hold two UFC titles simultaneously. After knocking out Alvarez in round two at UFC 205, McGregor was to be interviewed by Joe Rogan inside the octagon.

However, Conor McGregor kept putting off the interview because he wanted both of his belts around him. As Joe Rogan asked the champion how he felt after creating history, McGregor ignored Rogan's question and exclaimed:

"Where the f**k is my second belt? I've already got this one (lightweight). Where's the second one at? Cheap motherf***ers.. $4.2 billion this company was sold for. Where's that second belt? Go backstage, and grab that f***ing belt somewhere."

Joe Rogan proceeded with questions regarding the fight. But Conor McGregor was busy only checking himself out on the big screen. After telling Joe that he did not have one worthy opponent in the UFC, the 'Notorious' said:

"Look, Joe, what's next for me is, I'm going to get that second belt, where the f**k is it? They (the UFC) should have had the two belts ready, especially, for me. I f***ed them both (Aldo and Alvarez) in the octagon; it's never been done before.. I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, I'd like to take this chance to apologize to absolutely nobody! The double champ does what the f**k he wants."

The rant did not end there. When Joe Rogan congratulated McGregor and expressed that it was an honor for him to call the Irishman's fights, Conor McGregor simply replied:

"You're welcome."

#1 Conor McGregor continued his trash talk despite freak injury

Conor McGregor suffered a freak injury at UFC 264.

Conor McGregor engaged in a lot of trash talk ahead of his heated trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. He filled the pre-fight press conferences and interviews with insults and threats directed against 'The Diamond'. He also spoke about Poirier's wife to irk the Louisiana native, showing absolutely no regard towards a fellow athlete.

The fight started in as fiery a fashion as possible, with Conor McGregor welcoming Dustin Poirier with at least half a dozen kicks. However, Poirier settled in and started giving it back to McGregor before taking him down and landing a decent ground-and-pound.

The two fighters got back up after a while, and as they started exchanging shots, until McGregor suffered a freak injury, fracturing his ankle. He got tagged until round one was over. The fight was called off, and 'The Diamond' was declared the winner via TKO (doctor stoppage).

But proving that he is cocky beyond imagination, Conor McGregor kept on with his trash talk even while on the floor and surrounded by doctors and officials. He brought up Dustin Poirier's wife yet again and insulted Poirier further. Speaking to Joe Rogan, McGregor said:

"I was boxing the bleeding head off of him, kicking the bleeding leg off of him… This is not over. If we have to take this outside with him, it’s on. I don’t give a bollocks!"

When asked if the leg injury was due to a check by Poirier, McGregor refuted the same angrily. He then insulted Poirier by talking about his wife in a demeaning manner, saying:

"Your wife was in my DMs! Hey baby, hit me back, and we’ll check you later on!"
