Conor McGregor is notorious for a few reasons but one is certainly his habit of speaking his mind, and after becoming the only dual-champion in UFC history at UFC 205 he's made his demands clear.
After claiming the lightweight title - with a second round knockout of Eddie Alvarez at New York's Madison Square Garden - to go with his featherweight belt McGregor cut loose on UFC management.
His desire, equity in the company, which was recently sold for billions.
"They have got to come talk to me now. No one's come talk to me since the sale has happened," McGregor said.
"As a businessman I've been approached like 'hello' and that type of stuff, but I've earned something. I mean, who owns the company now?
"People have shares in the company, celebrities... Conan O'Brien owns the UFC nowadays, so where's my share? Where's my equity? If I'm the one that's bringing this, they've gotta come talk to me now.
"I've got both belts, a chunk of money, a little family on the way. You want me to stick around, you want me to keep doing what I'm doing, let's talk. But I want the ownership now. I want equal share. I want what I earned."
With very few viable challengers available in the featherweight division and his decimation of Alvarez at lightweight it was suggested McGregor may try and fight at welterweight - but he dismissed the idea, demanding clarity on his financial future.
"Whoever runs this whole s**t has to come to me and give me the real slice, because that's what I've earned. I've earned this. Biggest gate. Biggest everything."
