He should be watching next Saturday’s UFC 205 with bated breath.

Conor McGregor is never short for words, which has been a boon for the UFC, where he’s one of mixed martial arts’ brightest stars.
McGregor had a Rolls-Royce Ghost custom wrapped for him to use in NY while he’s getting ready for the historic event on Saturday night.
“I fought all over the world against the best guys in the world”, Alvarez said.
“I run this whole sh*t”. “I wish him all the best”. With his experience, I don’t believe McGregor’s mindgames will have any major affect on Alvarez. “I look forward to when the eyes shift, when the eyes roll and the electric shock darts through his whole body and he goes to his knees and then he comes up and he’s in survival mode and that panic sets through his whole body, his whole face”.
McGregor, 28, has reason to boast.
Given both the breakneck pace and breakbone punishment of his journey in the UFC since, it bears reminding ourselves that the Dubliner’s thrill-at-the-thrash-can moment was in fact less than two years ago.
Over the last two years, Edgar’s fate has been out of his hands. The UFC quickly planned its debut for this week.
Just because he didn’t say anything new, though, doesn’t mean he didn’t make headlines. “Look, stay tuned to what I’m announcing, but don’t be listening to people like that”.
The best bits of Conor McGregor’s News Conference from NY will be broadcast on Friday 11 November at 10pm on 3e.
McGregor – whose trademark histrionics and verbal warfare have again been on full display since avenging his lone UFC loss to Nate Diaz in August – is forecasting a dazzling display.
It will be the biggest UFC event of all time and one of the biggest events Madison Square Garden has hosted. He has averaged 1.55 million pay-per-view buys over his last three bouts, adding value to a company that was sold for $4 billion in the spring.
For years, the process of getting legislation passed in New York State was a massive story in and of itself and the build to this event has been covered in great detail. “So I’m here to put on a show for the fans”.
What McGregor will move on to, exactly, remains to be seen. Not just skill-wise, not just cardio-wise, not just nutrition-wise.
Next weekend at UFC 205, McGregor has the chance to cement his legacy by becoming the first fighter to hold championship gold in two divisions simultaneously. KhabibNurmagomedov, an undefeated fighter that Dana White originally said would fight Eddie Alvarez for the lightweight belt, fights Michael Johnson.

McGregor is predicting a first-round knockout. “I’m going to retire him on this night”. “I’m going to rearrange his facial structure”. He started talking about my wife and kids and things like that.
