On being willing to fight out his contract before facing McGregor: “If they want, I fight like my current contract, I can fight. But, OK, give me Poirier. I’m going to follow my contract. But if they want to use my name and use me to make money – Conor and UFC – no way…They want to use me? I’m the undefeated, undisputed UFC lightweight champion. I don’t need him. He need me. He’s like 2-2 (in his last four fights). He don’t fight (MMA) two years. He don’t deserve this type of shot. Dustin Poirier is (in line). He deserve this. If they want to use me and make a lot of millions, use my name, no way. They want a money fight? Please pay me.”

On his desire to face McGregor: “I hope it’s gonna be made. I hope they gonna make this fight, because I really want change this guy’s face. I really want to meet him alone inside the cage, only me and him.”
