Although McGregor ultimately lost to Diaz by submission in their initial fight at UFC 196, many praised McGregor for his courage to fight in a higher weight class. “King Mo” opened up about “moneyweight” and how he has been doing it for years, but even he cannot take the claim of pioneering it all.

Officer Brown all over the news in Albuquerque after reporters dig up how many times he has been in trouble for racial profiling in the past. Being a father of biracial children, I'm definitely not one to pull the race card. At the same time, I'm not necessarily surprised about this discovery after the run in I had with him. Having him stand there, look me in the eyes and start accusing me of several things him and I both know I didn't do made me feel let down by the community, made me feel powerless, he made me feel like what was actually true had no power over him. Now it's easier for me to understand why so many people hold resentment towards law enforcement. Officer brown almost single-handedly ruined my trust in law-enforcement. The sad thing about it is, I actually went to school for criminal justice, I wanted to be an officer myself. Fortunately I know better than to let one person ruin my views of a whole group. Just glad people are finally bringing light to who I was dealing with that night. A video posted by Jon Bones Jones (@jonnybones) on Apr 11, 2016 at 12:10pm PDT
