‘Then he’ll decide which one he wants to give back to me. He can’t hold both.

‘Then he’ll have to figure out which one he wants to give up. He can’t hold up two divisions.’

McGregor was suppose to fight Jose Aldo in a unification fight at UFC 205 with Alvarez up against title contender Khabib Nurmagomedov, but the Irishman and the reigning lightweight champion are believed to have insisted on a clash.
