Conor McGregor knows he's got "the dough" but demands credit too for his contribution to MMA
Conor McGregor went on another tweet-and-delete spree on Twitter where the Irishman made multiple bold statements on Twitter and then went on to delete them.
In one deleted tweet, McGregor expressed in fighting at middleweight.
"I'd be a big fridge at middleweight. But hot like oven same time, ye know yourself, catch it on ppv. Don't know tho. It be hard work. Those rounds against those [middleweights/ light heavyweights], they were alternating fresh each round. I've put in psycho work doing this job over the years."
Adding to that, 'The Notorious' said that although he had received the money he deserved for his contributions to the sport, he was yet to receive due credit for the same.
"I know I get the dough but I should get the credit too. Mostly people lying to themselves. I'm not on this throne by chance. I worked for all of this. Insanely hard."

Conor McGregor's achievements inside the octagon
Apart from his massive success in terms of pay-per-view numbers, Conor Mcgregor has also achieved numerous astonishing feats inside the octagon.
The Irishman has the UFC record for the fastest knockout in a title fight. McGregor achieved this feat at UFC 194 when he defeated Jose Aldo in just 13 seconds to become the new featherweight champion.
McGregor also became the first double champion in UFC history when he knocked out Eddie Alvarez in the second round at UFC 205 to win the lightweight belt.
Conor McGregor's performance against Eddie Alvarez from 4 years ago today is without question one of the most impressive performances in UFC history.
Not only did he put on a masterclass, he did so when the stakes were the highest. https://t.co/IqudTeMyM8
With his 40-second win over Donald Cerrone at UFC 246, McGregor also became one of the only two fighters (the other being Jared Cannonier) to score knockout victories in three different weight classes.
