Conor McGregor slams Diaz, Edgar in latest MMA awards speech

During the 2016 World MMA awards in early February, Conor McGregor didn't hold back in his acceptance speech for winning Fighter of the Year, calling the rest of the UFC "bums."

Now, McGregor's speech for winning the International Fighter of the Year award has been revealed, and it's arguably even more entertaining than his last acceptance speech.

McGregor, who was unable to attend the event as he prepares for his UFC 196 fight against Rafael dos Anjos, threw some shade at Nate Diaz and Frankie Edgar.

"The who's who of MMA I'm sure is there in their badly fitted suits, having a penny in their pocket," McGregor said, according to FOX Sports' Damon Martin. "I heard Nate Diaz couldn't even afford the flight over to Las Vegas for the ceremony. Frankie Edgar - I heard he's dressed like a little sheik's servant or something he's dressed like I heard, struggling to make a few quid."

McGregor continued his verbal assault by once again calling into question the work ethic of his fellow UFC fighters.

"I'd love to be there to see it all, but unfortunately I'm out here grinding," McGregor said. "Hard work pays as you can tell by looking at the numbers I brought in. By looking at everything that's going round. By looking at the boss man saying 'the first UFC fighter in history to make $100 million'. Hard work pays so take notes."

McGregor added: "Stop holding bitterness deep in your bum soul. Stuck on $20,000 to show and $20,000 to fight. I wipe my ass with that money. I tip your wage, Nate, yeah."

The UFC featherweight champion teased that he would continue to dominate into the new year, saying, "You thought 2015 was good. Wait until you see 2016."
