History awaits.
New York has already been taken over Conor McGregor’s fans, but if you thought the atmosphere at the weigh-in was electric, the main event at Madison Square Garden has raised the bar and the noise level.
History awaits for The Notorious as he aims to become the first fighter in the UFC to hold two championship belts simultaneously. A decade ago he was a teenage plumber, now he’s the main attraction in the first champion-versus-champion match-up in the UFC since 2009. Remarkable.
As per usual, McGregor was his usual confident self in the build-up to the fight, but the moment is now upon us.
Eddie Alvarez stands in McGregor’s way. Can he get the job done?
Goosebumps on the way out.
