While Khabib Nurmagomedov was cutting weight and beating on Edson Barboza as 2017 ended, Conor McGregor was counting his nine-digit bank account with a full belly and a checklist of business opportunities to work on in the new year. Of course, Mystic Mac couldn’t stay quiet for long after Khabib said he’d smash Conor and interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson in the same night. So, he hopped on Twitter, plugged his whiskey and his wealth, then asked Khabib to beg for a fight. He won’t be coming back until he gets his asking price.
That Dagestani was dog shit the other night you's are all nuts. Game full of sloppy bums asking to be slept. Pay me my worth and Kings back.

Notice how McGregor doesn’t say their names, and Tony Ferguson is completely left out of all of this? Gotta hand it to McGregor, he knows how to get what he wants in 280 characters or less.

And that's Diddy bread on top of already Diddy bread.

Now get your Diddy's out and beg.

As far as Conor’s concerned, he’s a smart man, and he knows that at this point, the longer he stays out, the more likely it is he gets the payday he’s looking for. He also knows that the longer he’s away from the Octagon, the bigger a deal it will be when he returns, healthy and hopefully with a fire underneath him. Until then, he’ll be hocking his whiskey around the world, it seems.
