Citing this tweet, Paul opened up about it in his post-fight presser. He said, “I’m salivating too because I’m just getting warmed up. Conor McGregor has a lot more to focus on besides me right now,”

“I’m five wins in a row, he’s one in three in the past four years so he needs to get off his vodka or whatever his brand is, sober up and get back in the gym then we can f***ing fight.” he added.
