Chris Taylor - March 6, 2016

I stormed in and put it all on the line. I took a shot and missed. I will never apologize for taking a shot. Shit happens. I’ll take this loss like a man. I will not shy away from it. I will not change who I am. If another champion goes up 2 weights let me know. If your tired of me talking money, take a nap. I’ll still be here when you wake up with the highest PPV and the gate. Still talking multi 7’s. Thank you to the true support and fuck the hate that came out of the woodwork. I love it all. Its still steak for breakfast. I’ve been here many times in my life in some form or another. I’ll eat it all and come back stronger. Aldo you are a pussy. Dos anjos you are a pussy. When the history books are written, I showed up. You showed up on Twitter. To the fans! Never ever shy away from challenges. Never run from adversity. Face yourself head on. Nate I will see you again.

This interview as all interviews for an upcoming fight is to hype it up and sell more PPV and more tickets.  This interview however was painful to watch and honestly didn’t do much to help hype the fight but the link is here if you want to watch. Conor did say he will breeze past the $10 mill mark and Diaz really wasn’t give an answer to anything.  At one point the interviewer asked about how the UFC can be bigger then the NBA or NFL.  Then it gets worse. I’m not sure why you would put either of these fighters on CNBC.
