Interviewer: What's Mystic Mac's prediction for the fight?
McGregor: You know, I feel Eddie. I’ve nothing against him, I’ve nothing against Edward.
Alvarez: Be careful
McGregor: Or what?! What you gonna do? Or what? You gonna do something over there?
Alvarez: Be careful.
McGregor: Shut your fucking mouth. I run New York, I run this whole shit. And Mystic Mac predicts I’m going to KO you inside one round.
Interviewer: Can you tell us what you’re going to do with the featherweight and lightweight titles?
McGregor: I’m gonna wrap one [belt] on one shoulder, I’m gonna wrap the other on the other shoulder and you’re going to need a fuckin’ army to come take them belts off me.
Interviewer: Can you give us an update on your leg [following the Diaz fight], how serious was the injury, and was it possible it was going to preclude you from fighting on this card.
McGregor: Listen, that fight was five weeks ago. I came out of the fight fresher than I went in. Look at Nate [Diaz’s] face. Nate will never look the same, I came out brand new. I’d a bruised foot. I agreed to this fight ten days ago, I don’t know what was going on, something went on with that other side. I was chilling waiting for the call, then the call came last minute, I jumped on plane and here we are.
Take a look around you, you’ve got a lot of champions and a lot of grizzled vets. Who do you think would give you the hardest fight out of anyone on stage?
Right here. Right here, the hardest hitting 145 pounder. The real hardest hitting 145er. This guy TKO’s people, when I knock people out, they don't fucking move.
Who the fuck is that guy? Who the fuck is that?
You know well who I am.
Who the fuck is that?

He’s just another broke bum trying to sell some shit. That’s it. He’s broke and he’s desperate so he’s trying make out, ‘McGregor is this and McGregor’s that’. We’ve heard it before, he’s just another broke bum who can’t afford to pay his bills. That’s all that is.
How did you get this [fight] done because it seemed like just a few days ago they were targeting you and Khabib (Nurmagomedov)?
He got it done by signing his last contract, he didn’t even negotiate new money for himself. Imagine that, look at everybody up here, they’re all dressed like me, they’re all trying to talk like me, they’re all trying to be me.
Everyone in the game wants this fight, this is the lottery fight. And this man took it on his last contract, imagine that. Imagine getting the biggest fight in the history of the game and saying, “shut your mouth kid, you’re getting paid what you got in your last fight and you’re lucky you’re even getting that”. He said, “Yes sir,” and sign it. That’s what happened.
