Top UFC featherweight Ricardo Lamas had a right go at Conor McGregor in the third episode of UFC 180 Embedded.
It really is a testament to Conor McGregor's influence in the UFC, that even though he's on different continent he's still being discussed in the build up to UFC 180. The Irish MMA superstar seems to have rubbed Ricardo Lamas the wrong way judging by how the American featherweight reacted to McGregor's name being brought up in this video.
This episode also gives an eye-opening insight into the media obligations the fighters are obliged to carry out during fight week. We see how the starving athletes are forced to pose with bags of Doritos to keep the sponsors happy, even though they're cutting weight in preparation for the weigh-in. That's just plain cruel!
