“If You Can’t Aim for Peace, Aim Between the Eyes”: Conor McGregor Looks Back at Memories of Becoming UFC Dual Champion at UFC 205

UFC fighter Conor McGregor is all pumped up to return to the Octagon. While there is neither a date nor an opponent yet, the fighter has been engaging in Twitter spats with other fighters. This has ensured that he has kept his fans on their toes.

The Irish athlete has had some of the biggest fights in the UFC. One such bout saw him share the cage with ex-UFC champion Eddie Alvarez in 2016 at UFC 205. After defeating him through a T/KO, McGregor became the first simultaneous UFC double champ.

As ‘The Notorious’ was already the featherweight champion at that point, he made history by becoming the lightweight champion.

‘The Notorious’ shared a small clip of his fight against Alvarez on Twitter. The video quoted McGregor and read, “I always aim for peace, but if you can’t aim for peace, aim between the eyes.”

The seven-second clip showed Conor McGregor punching Eddie Alvarez in the face.

Conor McGregor and Eddie Alvarez’s verbal spat

The Irishman is known for being loud and grabbing attention. During press conferences and interviews, he has shown his trash-talking skills.

McGregor and Alvarez had a lot of back and forth. In fact, ‘The Underground King’ seemed to get under McGregor’s nerves when he brought up social welfare. As reported by ‘Sportsbible‘, Alvarez said, “You were on welfare bra. You ain’t no man, you took welfare.”

‘The Notorious One’, who was previously on social welfare, was clearly agitated by the jab. However, he has been one of the highest-paid athletes in the sport of mixed martial arts.
