1. Let's go school this motherfucker.

2. It's either all or nothing, the game.

3. I felt I had enough talent

4. that it was time to pack up me job and chase me dream, and that's what I'm doing.

5. I'm the fuckin' future.

6. My dream is to be world champion in the UFC,

7. have more money than I know what to do with,

8. and have a great life for my kids and my grandkids.

9. My dream is to be number one.

10. Diaz! Diaz!

11. Oh! Nate Diaz is going off!

12. Diaz looking to finish it right here, right now!

13. Final seconds of the round.

14. - Just trying to survive. - Conor!

15. Huge round for Nate Diaz.

16. These are those last few rounds, and they're over.

17. You're winning the clinch every time.

18. Just recover. Loads of time.

19. Rinse and spit.

20. This is it now. Championship rounds.

21. I mean, I was a little chimp. I was only a kid.

22. Had a chip on my shoulder.

23. Little chimp runnin' around, thought I owned the place.

24. But I kept showing up and then became the gorilla.

25. This is a dogfight, ladies and gentlemen.

26. A real dogfight.

27. What's everyone else doing Saturday?

28. Probably out drinking and getting up to no good.

29. I'm here waiting on a...

30. 90-plus kilo,

31. big rugby head.

32. You know what I mean?

33. To come and basically have a scrap with.

34. Wanna start making some money. Can't even afford a head guard at the moment.

35. - Was gonna ask you, do you have a spare one?

36. - Have you not? - I don't have one, no.

37. He's a European welterweight champ.

38. UFC-ready. You know what I mean?

39. We can't even buy ourself fucking gear.

40. For our guys coming up, we don't have sports council paying for shit.

41. We show up here and beat the shit out of each other

42. and hope that we beat the shit out of each other enough that we become really good

43. and get that shout for the UFC.

44. Get there and start making the big money.

45. The aim for everyone is to get to the UFC, the premier promotion.

46. We don't give a fuck about no other shit.

47. You're either with the UFC or you're with nothin'.

48. It could happen any day. It's literally...

49. "We have a fight in nine weeks. Do you want it?"

50. You're fuckin' right I want it. So it could happen like that.

51. How you doin', me boy? Huh?

52. The Irish Debt Bureau. Come to join the queue.

53. Tell the Debt Bureau to join the fucking queue.

54. Do you organize Conor's life a bit?

55. Pretty much.

56. Pretty much.

57. This beard's getting a bit heavy, is it?

58. - I trimmed it just yesterday. Just give it a little... - I know.

59. - How'd you know? - 'Cause I seen all the hair in the sink.

60. They were here first, and then they moved out.

61. Wasn't long before they were back, when they realized they had to pay bills.

62. "Any chance we can come back for just a month?"

63. And so three years on, they're still here.

64. - Are you hungry? - Starvin'.

65. Oh, this looks lovely.

66. Most young men, why they got into martial arts was to defend themselves.

67. I started off really into football.

68. That was what my first dreams were, you know, being a football player.

69. How good you were at playing football and how good you were at fighting.

70. They were the two things where I grew up.

71. And then maybe as I'd start going outside my little estate

72. and all the conflicts that happened,

73. I had to think to meself, "I need to be able to defend myself now as well."

74. Not to get back at anyone.

75. Just to be like, "This guy knows where he's at. Leave him alone."

76. That's it.

77. I don't know what I'm doing other than that.

78. Now I'm obsessed.

79. Oh, yeah.

80. - Yes. Yes.

81. Whoo!

82. Fuck me, that's brilliant.

83. - Serious rounds.

84. - We went at it from round one. - Yeah, serious rounds.

85. It's 80 percent humidity and about 30 degrees.

86. No one goes easy here. Everyone wants to win.

87. From round one to round, fuckin', the end,

88. there's people trying to beat you up.

89. Saturday morning, get up and go 15 rounds.

90. Sunday, some weights and a cardio workout.

91. Monday morning, jujitsu, about 10 rounds.

92. Monday night, about eight rounds, I'd say.

93. Tuesday morning, here I am. Nine rounds, going at it.

94. Not nine rounds pitty-pat.

95. Nine rounds, you're trying to win every fuckin' minute of that round.

96. That's it. Up above. Get your shot up.

97. - Yeah. - Fuckin' hell.

98. This isn't for three weeks or for eight weeks.

99. - This is for life.

100. I just get fidgety.

101. That's why I need to train. If I don't train, I'm not meself.

102. It's like a sense of security or something.

103. It really messes with me head if I don't do some training.

104. Like I said, I'm broke still. Wanna make some money.

105. Just keep going. Get it in.

106. This is my life. Welcome.

107. - Come on, Conor!

108. Introducing his opponent, representing Antrim MMM.

109. - Come on, Ciaran!

110. He's very forceful, yeah? 2007.

111. The ringside. It was next door to the stadium.

112. Look. It was packed as well.

113. I'd literally only been training a week in MMA.

114. - I didn't have a pair of shorts.

115. Whoa.

116. - Oh.

117. S... Watch, watch, watch.

118. Sit down!

119. Ooh.

120. I caught him with some heavy shots.

121. Ooh.

122. Yeah! Yeah!

123. There I was dancing, "Right, fuck this.

124. This is what I'm gonna do for the rest of my time."

125. And when I went back to the gym the next day,

126. John pulled me into a room, brought me upstairs.

127. There was a little office upstairs, and he was like,

128. "You won't be fighting again if you ever go on like that."

129. The guy's hurt, and I'm running around screaming, "Yeah!" and bouncing around.

130. - "We don't go on like that." - You never really listened to that advice then, did you?

131. - I took it on board for one fight.

132. Let's go, Conor.

133. Go, Conor. It's all you.

134. This is the way to go. Build up your reputation outside of the UFC.

135. Get big finishes, talk the talk.

136. Win titles in all weight divisions.

137. Then get your call-up.

138. When the call-up comes, get in there and prove everyone that you're there.

139. It's no surprise. Put me in the fucking ring.

140. People could throw bricks at me

141. and call me every name under the sun,

142. I'd still walk out thinking I'm the Don Juan, the number one.

143. You have said that your goal is to get into the bigger organization.

144. - Do you think the call is... - Yeah, I hope so. I hope so.

145. Hello, Sweden.

146. In mixed martial arts, a Dubliner is getting ready to take on the best in the world.

147. A two-weight champion in the Cage Warriors Championship,

148. he's now been signed up to the elite Ultimate Fighting Championship.

149. All over the world, I feel like I can pack out shows.

150. I feel like I have that va-va-voom, as they say in France.

151. I think the easiest way to explain, he's been playing for the local teams,

152. and now he's been signed by Liverpool.

153. I see meself as the champ already.

154. You're the featherweight champion already?

155. Of course. I seen meself as the champ from day one.

156. We're broke as motherfuckers over here, and I haven't got a pot to piss in.

157. So I'm looking to get paid. I'm gonna go straight for him.

158. Hands in the air, open palm, Chuck Norris style, eh?

159. Marcus is hurt.

160. Looking to finish it here.

161. This is why everyone's been talking about Conor McGregor!

162. And it's all over! Wow!

163. Ultra-impressive UFC debut!

164. This kid's the real deal.

165. - What's up, man? - Welcome to the UFC, man.

166. Yeah, thank you very much.

167. - There's been a lot of hype. I guess the hype is real. - Yeah.

168. I didn't have money before this, and now here I am,

169. with 60 G's bonus and then my own pay.

170. I don't know what the fuck's going on, to be honest, right?

171. - Just last week, I was collecting the social welfare.

172. Now I suppose I'm just gonna tell them to fuck off.

173. I'm just thinking of what I'm gonna spend it on.

174. What's up? There's the guy with the Daily Mail. Let him in there.

175. - A hundred percent. What's up? - That was impressive.

176. Thank you so much.

177. My man, my man.

178. I always felt like I was getting spotted, yeah?

179. What kind of prick would you be?

180. No, no, I don't want to.

181. - Thank you so much. Good luck, Conor. - Thank you.

182. It's not as if I'm like bloody Justin Bieber and there's a thousand people outside waiting.

183. It's not heavy like that.

184. Living the dream. Yeah. Crazy.

185. This isn't the safest area

186. to have a big camera and a load of cash.

187. You'd want to be armed to come at me.

188. Something semiautomatic.

189. Two hours to get up to the back-arse of nowhere on a freezing-cold site.

190. Anytime anything was needed, who has to go and get it?

191. Little old Conor here.

192. I used to drive that.

193. If you're motivated by money and fame,

194. you're motivated by the wrong things, and I agree.

195. Fuck fame. I'm in this game to get paid.

196. When I retire, I want to be fat and lazy and don't have to answer to no one.

197. Six holidays a year and a car for every day of the week.

198. - McGregor. - All right, boys.

199. - What's up? How are you?

200. Best of luck in the next boxing.

201. - Thank you so much, man. Thank you. - Have a good one.

202. Thank you.

203. See what I'm saying about following me around?

204. Spontaneous.

205. Ever hear that thing where people say,

206. "Spend your money on experience rather than material things."

207. Well, fuck that.

208. This to me is an experience. And it's also material.

209. So I'm killin' two birds with one stone there, you know what I mean?

210. Just has to be prepared.

211. Oh.

212. Oh.

213. - It's mine? - Yeah.

214. I'm in shock.

215. From Peugeot to this. It's not bad.

216. Oh, my God. This is something else.

217. - You've worked hard. - Yeah.

218. Let us go to the Skype machine

219. and welcome in our good pal, Mr. Hollywood.

220. Look at this guy. All of a sudden. What a difference a few months makes.

221. - Don't hate, Ariel, yeah? Don't be hating.

222. I sense an aura. I sense an aura. It's oozing out of you.

223. Yeah. Did you not sense that the first time though?

224. You're only 1-0 in the UFC,

225. but it feels like you're 10-0 by the attention and by the buzz surrounding you.

226. I always felt like the champ. I always felt like this was going on.

227. This was all going on in my head. Now it's just happening in real life.

228. I'm borderline insane, Ariel, yeah?

229. And that's what makes me so damn dangerous.

230. I know you watched 163. What'd you think of Aldo's performance?

231. Are you ready for this, man?

232. Ariel, come on. There is no opponent, you know what I mean?

233. This is my division. This is my time.

234. If they give me that title shot, I'll go for it.

235. I come to fight. I come to perform. I'm ready.

236. It's... time!

237. - That's it. - It is all over!

238. We said he would make it look easy. He made it look easy.

239. Tonight was a breakout night for this kid.

240. He proved that he is legit and he belongs here.

241. Holy shit.

242. Now this is a fuckin' room.

243. You know what's next. That world title is next.

244. Tell José I'm comin'.

245. That's some suit, isn't it?

246. Once you got your autograph, please get out of the way.

247. - Thank you. - That's it. I've got to get him there now.

248. You will be fighting José next, for the title.

249. I'm gonna hand him my spit bucket, tell him to go back and spit-shine that belt.

250. He's supposedly one of the pound-for-pounds.

251. He's been on a tear. He's the featherweight king.

252. Only one king around here, paddy.

253. He's 50-50 on the feet.

254. And I swear on me life, I watched his last fight and tried me best to be humble.

255. I said, "Please, give him a round.

256. Give him two rounds even."

257. I can't do it. He's gonna get knocked out in one as well.

258. We are in the Mac Mansion in Las Vegas,

259. and the people that are here with me are the people that have been with me from the beginning.

260. Presently, Vegas is home to high roller Conor McGregor and his entire team.

261. High roller!

262. I'm gonna wipe out everyone in this division. I said that, and I will do it.

263. Regardless of McGregor's claims, José Aldo is, as of now,

264. the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet.

265. If Conor goes in and does exactly what he says he's gonna do to José Aldo,

266. it will be tough to not call him the pound-for-pound best in the world.

267. That is fuckin' quality, that is there.

268. - Goin' up.

269. I love this elevator here.

270. This is the bathroom. This is Dee's walk-in wardrobe.

271. The sauna.

272. - Oh. - Right there.

273. His-and-her sinks.

274. Full bathroom.

275. My walk-in wardrobe.

276. - Fuckin' hell. - Uh, so...

277. - It's like fuckin' Floyd Mayweather or some shit. - Yes.

278. See that MGM every day.

279. Some place, isn't it?

280. It's unreal.

281. We went to the gym. Start rolling around.

282. We started on the feet.

283. He comes up on his elbow,

284. tries to jump in the air and tries to do that scissor sweep.

285. - Oh. - From fuckin'... From here.

286. And I'm just like this.

287. - And he just scissors me and there's a... crrr! - Agh.

288. It was like... And I'm like,

289. "What the fuck... What the fuck are you doing?

290. We're only fuckin' slow rollin'."

291. So now I have to fuckin' accept that,

292. and I have to manage this, but we're doin' good.

293. Like I'm getting real good sessions in. I'm in serious shape.

294. So as long as I keep healthy.

295. And on fight night, I'm just gonna let it go.

296. Gonna go in, I'm gonna let everything fly.

297. - How's it feeling? - It's feeling a lot better.

298. - I'm happy. It's getting there. - I love it.

299. Essentially, I tore my ACL.

300. Eighty percent of it, they said.

301. I've become a master at recovering from this,

302. and I am able to overcome it.

303. Everyone in the roster would have went runnin' after this.

304. - Aaah. - Okay? Okay, bud?

305. - Aaah! Okay, okay, okay. - Okay, okay.

306. - Okay, let me up, let me up. - Okay.

307. They said I'll be able to kick in a couple more weeks.

308. I'm a fuckin' workhorse.

309. It's just another day to me, paddy. I'm a fuckin' veteran at this game.

310. They're doing a waxwork of him on fight week on the Strip.

311. It's gonna be around Vegas so people can take pictures with it and shit.

312. And that e-mail is "for Conor's eyes only, please."

313. And this is about the 150th.

314. "Hi, Conor. After my last relationship broke down,

315. I had a very powerful feeling in my body that I was soon to meet the love of my life.

316. At around the same time, I had the vision of being in Vegas.

317. I do need one thing from you at this stage.

318. Please be honest with me about what is going on here.

319. I feel like we have been sharing this love online and elsewhere.

320. I see us having a number of children.

321. Ella, Shannon, Conor, Hugh, Michael, James, Seamus

322. are some names I have in mind."

323. Now, I have not written back to this crazy bitch once,

324. but she keeps on sending e-mails, e-mails, e-mails.

325. Like big detailed ones like that,

326. naming the kids and everything.

327. It's fucked up, innit?

328. What do you do with that? That bitch'll show up with a gaff one day.

329. Or a bleedin' gun or something.

330. Going right this way.

331. It's a busy night in the Mac Mansion.

332. And big.

333. - Go big, go big! - Ahhh!

334. And cut.

335. So it comes to a halt in a suburban street. Driver gets out.

336. - Smoke coming from the hood. He's broken down. - You're late for the fight.

337. You don't know where you are.

338. This is a wedding chapel. Smash through the wall of the wedding chapel.

339. There's a massive reveal in the center of Las Vegas.

340. - You're in the center of Vegas. The MGM. There you are. - This is gonna be a big shoot.

341. - Massive. - Wednesday and Thursday this week.

342. Wednesday and Thursday, or Wednesday or Thursday?

343. Wednesday and Thursday.

344. With this whole running scene that we're doing,

345. you're just a determined Conor McGregor, do you know what I mean?

346. And action, Conor.

347. Ready, and action.

348. - Great. Cut it. Got it. - Cut. Thank you.

349. You know you've made it when you've got a motherfucker holding an umbrella for you.

350. You know you're big-time then.

351. - What about their wedding? - It's a church?

352. It's a wedding. Basically, it's you running...

353. Take a picture of me and Dee here.

354. - Ah, love it.

355. - Ah, that's gas. - Congrats, guys.

356. Surprise!

357. Oh, my God. That looks good.

358. - We met three years ago. - It was at a party, wasn't it?

359. - Yeah. - Then I didn't see anything of her for ages.

360. Came across her on Bebo.

361. Went on one day, had a friend request, and I was like, "Hmm. What's this?"

362. I was just saying she really believed in you for a long time, it seems.

363. Yeah. She did.

364. Conor would go train until about 10:00.

365. We'd just drive home, listen to music

366. and kind of just saying, "Look. One day."

367. - Yeah. - It's real.

368. "One day."

369. We are running behind here. It will be 1:15, 1:30.

370. Who's coming over, Dee?

371. Heather. Conor's physio.

372. She just happened to have Arnie with her.

373. World champion preparation this is, Arnold.

374. I brought everybody out here under one roof,

375. all preparing for... with one goal in mind.

376. It's the way world champions do it, and I'm a world champion.

377. But I'm sure you're training with your three-piece suit.

378. Yeah. Yeah.

379. - Got a few suits prepared. - Exactly.

380. - Looks good. Yeah, looks great. - Yeah, thank you.

381. I can kick again. I can hit things now.

382. - That's good. - That's the first time...

383. On the day of the fight, I said, "Hold the pad there."

384. And I just went ba-boom.

385. So essentially it's just where I was back where I was at now.

386. - That's nothing. - And the more you work your glutes,

387. the less stress you're gonna have on that area.

388. I'll tell you what, Arnie, you were my hero growing up,

389. but Heather is my hero now, yeah?

390. - Good. She's fantastic, yeah. - She's unbeliev...

391. Honestly, she is unbelievable at what she does.

392. But, yeah, UFC 189.

393. I know it's a long way away. I know you're a busy man.

394. I'll put you down as there, so I'll understand if you are not.

395. - But, honestly, I wish you were there. - When I say I'll be back...

396. - I mean it. - Funny.

397. I mean it, yeah.

398. - Bye. - Bye-bye.

399. Arnie droppin' in at our gather.

400. - Fuckin' Arnie.

401. "When I say I'll be back."

402. Oh, stop!

403. I was like, "What? You fuckin' legend!"

404. What's the story with the leg anyway?

405. - Yeah, it's good. They said I have no restrictions. - Great. No restrictions.

406. Just build up the glutes. Keep going, and I can kick, I can spar now.

407. - Yeah, all good. - Boom, boom.

408. - Love it, love it. - It's all coming together nicely.

409. I'm not confident enough to stay on one leg.

410. All I need to do is be stable there. Get him to the fence.

411. Beat the body, beat the legs, separate, strike, and carry on.

412. They're solid rounds, aren't they?

413. Right, there's no wrestling, but they're high-intensity.

414. There's a lot of movement in them.

415. He's ready to go. Getting him to the fight without any injuries is the main thing.

416. Good to see you.

417. - Almost 10,000 people. - Wow.

418. - That's sweet. - 10,000 just at the fucking weigh-ins.

419. - I love it. - Right?

420. This is fresh!

421. Ten fucking years this guy hasn't lost a fight,

422. and then you got this fucking guy who has your persona and personality.

423. It's a one-in-a-million fight.

424. Every day is moving forward.

425. That's just the way we live. That's our lives.

426. We live in this... positive mind frame.

427. To mimic José, all I gotta do is look at everyone.

428. His jab with that right hand, that low kick.

429. The same shots as everyone throws.

430. To mimic me, he has to go to great lengths.

431. Everyone on the roster thinks that it's his.

432. I'm gonna flatten him. I know I'm gonna knock him out.

433. He'll come in, that aggressive jab, right hand.

434. I'll step back, bang, a left hook, and that will be it.

435. If you change the way you think

436. and you believe every single breath you take that you are the best...

437. And I was the first person to really hear him speak those words

438. and hear him be so passionate.

439. I always did believe him. Always.

440. And I always will.

441. Do you know what's happening?

442. I'm just reading some online reports

443. that are about Aldo breaking his rib.

444. You're not gonna fight with a broken rib.

445. After all this effort.

446. Shit.

447. Is Conor still asleep?

448. - He hasn't heard anything? - He's asleep.

449. You'll hear it. "Aaah!"

450. - Off that, into the pool.

451. He got kicked in the ribs during a sparring session.

452. How hard were they fucking sparring?

453. Exactly. How hard can you be sparring?

454. Spinning heel kick to the ribs.

455. This is not what we expected today. Not what we expected.

456. That's crazy, two and a half weeks out.

457. Right. Two and a half weeks out.

458. Somebody's kicking you so hard, they break your ribs.

459. What's up?

460. Hey, sunshine.

461. What's up?

462. - This is what you call a rude awakening. - Yeah.

463. He broke his fucking rib.

464. Oh, my God. So what happens now?

465. - That's why we're here. - We're here to talk to you.

466. He has a non-displaced fracture, which means that it's...

467. Were they whomping the hell out of each other in the gym?

468. - Yeah. - What? Take a body shot?

469. - Sounds like a... - It was a body shot? - Yeah.

470. - He got hit with a body shot? - Kick.

471. Fuckin' hell.

472. We have a date, September 5, here in Vegas,

473. which gives you another seven weeks.

474. - Then you can fight Aldo. - Yeah, but that's September.

475. Whether I want to take another one is the question.

476. I didn't know there was an option, actually.

477. Which I did. I knew that you would say that.

478. I knew you would say that.

479. Thanks, man.

480. - Later. Coach. All right, man. - Thanks for coming.

481. Just carry on business as usual, hit the gym tonight.

482. Yes.

483. - See what happens. - Yeah.

484. - Hey. Whup-a! - Yeah.

485. - Oh!

486. I knew that one sunk.

487. Doesn't matter who it is. Whoever steps in the cage is getting taken out.

488. José, Nate, Chad... Whoever the fuck.

489. Whoever it is is getting fucked up bad.

490. - Hey. - Hi. How are you guys?

491. Just give us your reaction

492. to the news that's come down here that you've learned about José Aldo

493. and the potential of having to face Chad Mendes.

494. It means nothin' to me. The result will remain the same.

495. It doesn't matter who is in front of me.

496. I am the pound-for-pound number one,

497. so whoever's standing across from me will get it.

498. That'll work.

499. - And panic set in.

500. Fear set in. So...

501. Doctors have revealed that he's a pussy.

502. So now it's known he's a pussy.

503. I'm fighting Mendes, Sergey.

504. - Yeah? - For the interim belt.

505. - No way. - Yeah. It's perfect.

506. As long as there's a belt on the line, I'm good. Do you know what I mean?

507. Be different if there's no belt on the line.

508. I'm gonna go in and pile the pressure on straight from the bell.

509. Big, big shots. Big knees.

510. Hit high and shut him down.

511. The belt's on the line. That makes all the difference.

512. Chad, can I just ask you a little bit about your superior wrestling skills,

513. the advantage you would have?

514. You know, I'm the type of guy that has the athleticism

515. and I have the wrestling ability to put this dude on his back...

516. anybody in the division, to put them on their back.

517. It's always been the question: how will he do against a wrestler?

518. Now we answer that question.

519. He hasn't been training for years with Sergey for no reason.

520. My mind is absolutely bulletproof.

521. So if you are number one, who gives a shit

522. if number two steps out in place of number three?

523. - 'Cause he doesn't shoot like the way he's training. - Yeah.

524. - It's that. Whoa-ah! - Yeah.

525. And he's afraid of the feet.

526. At that range, he's gonna be like...

527. He's gonna be facing me. He's gonna have to come...

528. - He'll be shooting from miles out there.

529. In my opinion, Conor is a very one-dimensional fighter.

530. He doesn't have wrestling. He doesn't have jujitsu.

531. You wipe all that hype outta here, I'm gonna get in there and destroy this dude.

532. - Bottom line.

533. - Was that a pop? - Yeah.

534. - On my leg? - Yeah.

535. - Are you serious? - Yeah.

536. No. It wasn't in that leg, was it?

537. There's nothin'. Didn't feel nothin'.

538. - It was a pop, wasn't it? - Yeah.

539. It's all right. It was nothin'.

540. - Was it? - No.

541. Sorry, man.

542. - Yeah. - You all right?

543. - I heard a crack. - Where?

544. In my right knee.

545. Nothin' more. No pain or nothin'. Just, "Uh. What was that?"

546. Was it extending it or coming down?

547. I had it bent like that in a body triangle position.

548. Get that out of me face, will ya?

549. - Let's go. - Where is it? Here?

550. Yep. Right here on the left.

551. Some MRI place.

552. See there's nothin' wrong.

553. That's it. What do you want me to say?

554. We're not sure exactly what the situation is at the moment.

555. I mean, he was already on one leg.

556. This morning he was at the lowest point you can be.

557. Uh, but I think he's just gonna fight through it either way.

558. There's no other way. This fight is too big.

559. When I throw a roundhouse, it's balancing...

560. I can't balance again.

561. - Entire leg unstable. - Yeah.

562. Couple times.

563. See that? It's freakin' me out.

564. - Yeah. Yeah. - It's making me question whether it's stable.

565. That's not right.

566. Anytime I compress now, it's sore.

567. Okay. And the back? Do you still feel that pressure in the back?

568. Yeah.

569. Pretty much anyone in the world

570. would have pulled out of the fight.

571. Conor is training without an ACL.

572. I mean, you're not supposed to be able to walk without ACL.

573. Just for those things alone, that's how I know he's gonna be the champion.

574. - Hey. - I was like,

575. "Ma, two up, two down." Not anymore.

576. Get this. Hasn't seen her in ages.

577. How are you, Son?

578. - Feeling good? - Where's Da?

579. He's on his way.

580. Big cry from down Crumlin, isn't it?

581. - Oh, my God. - Hey.

582. - Love, love, love ya. Miss ya loads. - Oh, miss yous too.

583. Surreal, isn't it?

584. Are you just kind of used to it now?

585. This is cool, isn't it?

586. - What's up? - Long time no see. How you doin'?

587. - Good, good, good. - How's the weight situation? On top of it, yeah?

588. We knew you would be.

589. - There's rumors going around. - Ah...

590. Where's he going? Twenty-seven.

591. I'm surrounded... by luxuries.

592. But it certainly involves a lot of sacrifice.

593. - People see the nice things. - People see the nice things.

594. They don't have to walk by them two scales.

595. That's... That's not good.

596. - How ya feelin'? - I feel all right.

597. It's a little bit creaky.

598. Just going up and down there?

599. - Ah... I feel it 24/7. - You feel it?

600. - You feel... - 24/7.

601. Okay.

602. I'm thinking fuck MMA sparring again. It feels like I'm setting myself back.

603. We stop doing the MMA sparring, start doing the boxing.

604. Just feeling a little bit better.

605. - Boxing drills? - That's what I'm thinking.

606. - That and the weight? - Yeah, that and the weight. Yeah, that's it.

607. It's hot out today.

608. Oh, my God, man. It's heavy, isn't it, Artem?

609. - It's the heaviest. - I look at you, and I'm like, "Fuck featherweight.

610. - I'm not going there." - Yeah.

611. - I'll be back in a minute. - Yeah.

612. Last one. Who wants it? Who wants it the most?

613. So it's getting close. You're supposed to up the pace, but you're eating less.

614. It's the hardest and the most dangerous time.

615. Once Conor in the cage, door is locked, that's it.

616. Our job is done.

617. Yesterday's session was very good.

618. Gave me a good boost. The weight's down, everything's good.

619. Life's good.

620. The only thing that's gonna put you down is injury.

621. What is the motto of the camp? What is the motto of life?

622. Three minutes.

623. Improvise, adapt, and overcome.

624. Great work today, buddy. Yeah?

625. Whoo!

626. Good session.

627. - Conor? - Where are you?

628. That looks nice.

629. - Come on. - One forty-four and a half?

630. They say I struggle. I don't struggle.

631. I'm a perfectionist.

632. Half under.

633. - Twentieth one done. Twentieth one done. - Proud of you.

634. Fuck everyone doubting me.

635. Doubting a professional. How can you doubt a professional?

636. I don't fuck about this game, eh?

637. I take this game very seriously.

638. What's up, skinny? Good to see you.

639. You look fucking crazy. That's so crazy.

640. - Cutting weight is a fucking weird thing. - Yeah.

641. Let's get this thing over with so you can rehydrate.

642. Let's do it. I'm ready.

643. All right, let's bring the water.

644. No! Stop!

645. Tonight, baby. I'll see you later, yeah?

646. See you when I come back.

647. He has the bag, yeah? Louis's here, is it? Suit bag?

648. The suit and the Louis bag's in there, innit?

649. - I got 'em. - All the bags and everything?

650. How do I look?

651. Like what? What do I look like?

652. - Like the world champion, baby. - The world champion.

653. Aye.

654. Everyone has their ID and all, yeah? For tonight?

655. - You have mine, do ya? - Yeah, your wallet's in there.

656. Put some R & B or rap or something on there, please.

657. All the way. All the way up. We're not 90 in here.

658. - Little bit more. Little bit more. - Keep going.

659. Little bit more, please. Thank you.

660. No one does it better than me, yeah?

661. When it's all combined into a little nutshell,

662. no one does it better than me.

663. All of it together.

664. Ah, I mean business today, yeah?

665. I mean business.

666. All right, then I'll take off this fabulous suit.

667. Wanted to keep it on a little bit longer.

668. Conor McGregor, who is a unique, one-of-a-kind.

669. A guy who combines crazy trash-talking hype

670. with spectacular talent, skills, and confidence,

671. and an aura.

672. There's an aura about this young man.

673. Let's go, pussy.

674. All right, Conor.

675. Yeah. Give me the flag.

676. - Let's do it. Let's go.

677. - All right, gentlemen, obey all the rules. - Let's see who has it now.

678. - Protect yourself at all times. Follow my instructions.

679. Touch gloves if you wish. Come out ready to fight.

680. How good is this?

681. Oh, he hurt him hard. He hurt him hard there.

682. There's a good one-two by Chad.

683. - Oh! Again. - Spin again.

684. Hard shot.

685. - Looking for the takedown. Got it! - This is a big power shot.

686. There's another hard shot to the body.

687. Chad's hurt. Chad's body's hurt.

688. Okay, let's stick with the long shots.

689. The left kick to the body is beautiful, and the straight to the body as well.

690. Every time that takedown started with a left hand.

691. You got this, baby. One round for us.

692. Conor! Conor! Conor!

693. Chad can't stand in front of him, and that's the problem he's having.

694. Conor's doing a wonderful job of keeping him on the outside and attacking his body.

695. - McGregor down again. - Again. Huge takedown.

696. This is what everyone wanted to see.

697. The one thing that he hadn't faced is a talented wrestler.

698. Mendes keeping busy.

699. Slashing elbow by Mendes.

700. He's doing a lot of damage here.

701. He stepped over. He's looking for the neck.

702. Looking for the neck. Chad is excellent at this.

703. - This is his technique. - Gonna lock it in!

704. - Very bad position for Conor. - Great position for Mendes.

705. - Can he get it? No. - He lost it.

706. He lost it, and they're backed up.

707. Uppercut. McGregor.

708. - Chad can't stand in front of him. - Great combination.

709. Mendes fires back. Looks for another takedown.

710. - Not this time. - Conor stuffed it.

711. With 20 seconds to go. Big, deep breath by Chad Mendes.

712. Listen to this place.

713. Oh! Big shots from McGregor!

714. - Ten seconds. - Now he's hurt!

715. Could he finish him here?

716. It is all over!

717. Conor McGregor

718. is the UFC interim featherweight champion!

719. I'm absolutely blown away by the support.

720. So much went on during the buildup to this.

721. I just honestly wanna say thank you to my team, my family, everyone that's come up with me.

722. People since day one.

723. And the Irish people that supported me,

724. I swear to God, I've done this for us.

725. - I've done it for us.

726. The champion.

727. - The champ is here. - [man 2] The champ is in the house.

728. - I'm so proud of you, Conor. - Thank you.

729. I don't recall you ever being this emotional after a win.

730. - Is this a first for you? - Yeah, I don't think I have been.

731. It's been a long, long road.

732. Years and years of hard work, dedication.

733. And then even just the buildup to this has been up and down.

734. It's been a lot of travel, a lot of work, and I'm just blown away.

735. Ay, ay, ay.

736. I swear to God, I've never been like this in me life.

737. Fuck it. I was like that when you were walking out.

738. Crying me eyes out.

739. Ah, fuck's sake.

740. - Good to see you. - Everything's good.

741. - How you doing? - How are you?

742. You're nuts. You're nuts!

743. The business associates.

744. All the business partners, get in.

745. Good business.

746. I was so nervous down there.

747. I think I lost two pounds just in those few minutes.

748. I could feel Heather's eyes on my leg.

749. I saw you on the ground. I was like...

750. Oh, man, it's been a long road. It's been a long, hard road.

751. Conor! I love you, Conor.

752. Conor, how do you feel?

753. This now sets up a fight with José Aldo

754. that will be easily the biggest fight

755. in the history of the UFC.

756. In my opinion, José went running.

757. If he wants to come back, he can come back.

758. But I swear to God his day will come.

759. - The boys! - Wanna help us?

760. - I need to get him out, 'cause he's going bananas. - Yeah, right.

761. Who's got the third one?

762. That just needs a clean on the outside, but this, inside and outside.

763. There's the keys to the BM. There's the keys to the Merc.

764. And the Range is gonna come around now in a minute, yeah?

765. A couple of weeks after the fight and I watched the whole thing,

766. taking me back, and I went back there.

767. Watching all of it, it's crazy.

768. Watching situations back and then putting yourself back there.

769. Intense.

770. I like to do that.

771. It's like mental preparation, even if I'm not there.

772. Go to that place where I was feeling them feelings. I live there.

773. So when it's actually that time of day,

774. it's just... it's just another day.

775. I'm so comfortable with it. I'm so used to it.

776. I've done what no other man could do. Got him out of bed early.

777. Right to the end! Come on!

778. Ain't nothing. Easy. Easy work.

779. The hardest workers in the game.

780. That's why we're the highest paid in the game.

781. - Go! - Come on! Round five!

782. Knock his fucking head off, Conor.

783. - Fucking A! - Thank you.

784. I think Aldo's gonna be very lucky to get out of the first round.

785. Definitely an improved Conor McGregor.

786. Every single camp, he just takes those leaps again, you know?

787. Heel to toe.

788. Heel to toe.

789. This is what we do with newspapers in this house.

790. Newspapers don't get read around here.

791. Ey! Ey!

792. - Let's go. - Ey!

793. Ey!

794. Fucking brilliant.

795. So, is it a fun job?

796. It is extremely fun beating people up for lots of money.

797. Do you talk to them while you're beating them up?

798. Is there, um...

799. Are there conversations?

800. I certainly let them know that they hit weak.

801. What about this guy you're fighting? What's his name? José?

802. We're almost there. I'm not gonna get too excited,

803. because it was around this time the last time that he pulled.

804. I'm a true great, and I conquered my adversity. He did not. He went running.

805. I don't know. It's a good craic, innit?

806. I'm a bit more comfortable with it now. I don't know.

807. It's weird when you watch yourself.

808. I used to watch and be like, "Why the fuck am I sounding like that?

809. Why am I talking like that for?"

810. Me and her, she'd be slagging me, mate.

811. Why would I be slagging you?

812. Why were you slagging me? Sometimes I can't listen to myself talk.

813. And I may have...

814. But that was all right.

815. Wow!

816. - Here's the view. - It's a mile, guv'nor.

817. Look at that view. Geez!

818. This must be 15 press conferences I've done

819. without getting to fight this man,

820. so I am happy that we are here now.

821. I am in a state of Zen,

822. ready to put on the performance of my life.

823. Ey-ey! Ey!

824. Within four minutes, the shots will have landed.

825. Anything after that four-minute mark of the first round

826. will be a formality.

827. This one will be a master class.

828. This one will be the changing of a guard.

829. The pound-for-pound number one, undefeated ten years.

830. The only featherweight champion.

831. What can they say after José falls?

832. This will prove my point: that I am the number one.

833. It's good to come out and support my Irish brothers.

834. And, of course, Conor McGregor, the man, blitzed it already.

835. Mathematically, Aldo's too short to get in close to Conor.

836. His length, his reach, his height is way too much for him.

837. It's gonna be a debacle. It's done in one.

838. If it's not done in one, it'll be done in two.

839. Here we go, ladies and gentlemen!

840. Introducing the Notorious Conor McGregor!

841. Hold on, Conor.

842. Hold on.

843. Good job. 145.

844. 145 for Mr. McGregor!

845. I know that the sore parts of his face won't be able to take my shots.

846. I just wanna thank the Irish people for coming out here for me.

847. It means everything.

848. Tomorrow night, I will bring that gold home for Ireland once again.

849. Conor McGregor, ladies and gentlemen!

850. Fight day.

851. I tell you what, I've had about 25 meals.

852. Since fucking yesterday.

853. Everyone in that bleeding arena will be in bits by the time I get there.

854. They're already in a heap.

855. Half of them don't even know where the fuck they are.

856. Gas. It'll be a good night.

857. Everything will be too much.

858. The shots will be too heavy. The movement will be too fast.

859. You're gonna see that fear rush across his face after the first exchange.

860. Uh-oh.

861. Love this suit.

862. I look clean. Fresh as fuck.

863. How do I look, boys? Huh?

864. Yeah.

865. Nice.

866. Let's go school this motherfucker.

867. Let's see you now, boy!

868. Major fresh I look. The face and all.

869. Six hours later, he looks.

870. You out of here, babe? All right.

871. See you after the fight.

872. He looks tired.

873. Oh. You don't want to come in against me looking tired.

874. Where's the real champ?

875. There he is. Fresh.

876. Whoo!

877. That man is fresh.

878. Lavender, that is. Yeah, that's a lavender tie.

879. Too strong, too fast.

880. Can't take the power. Can't take the power.

881. - Ey! - Yeah.

882. That's the one.

883. That's a knockout.

884. You could put somebody in front of him and you'd still knock him out.

885. That's why you're fighting. It is your future, your family's future.

886. - Ready, Conor? - Yeah.

887. Let's go, boys. Let's do it.

888. - The shackles are coming off. - Freedom.

889. Three!

890. Two!

891. One!

892. One, one, one!

893. Fourteen-fight win streak.

894. In 2008, Conor McGregor said it was his dream

895. to be a world champion in the UFC.

896. Seven years later, he's got his chance.

897. Unbeaten for over a decade,

898. the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet,

899. the only UFC undisputed featherweight champion,

900. 25-1,

901. José Aldo.

902. Follow the rules of the match. Protect yourself at all times. Obey my commands at all times.

903. I want you to fight hard but clean.

904. If you wanna touch gloves, touch 'em now.

905. Good. Step back. Good luck.

906. José Aldo!

907. Conor McGregor!

908. The most highly anticipated featherweight fight of all time.

909. Here we go!

910. Green trunks for the southpaw,

911. the Notorious Conor McGregor.

912. Black trunks for the champion, José Aldo Jr.

913. Conor relaxed and smiling.

914. Oh, my! He slapped him. Yeah!

915. Conor McGregor is the new UFC featherweight champion of the world!

916. Oh! Unbelievable! The first punch he threw.

917. Slapped him!

918. Wow!

919. Honestly, I feel for José. He was a phenomenal champion.

920. We deserved to go a little bit longer.

921. You did it all, sir. Congratulations.

922. Ireland, baby, we did it! Yeah!

923. You just keep doing it.

924. - Ten years... - Bing!

925. one punch.

926. Ten years, one punch.

927. Ah, I love tradition.

928. To the Irish. Loving the Gael.

929. To Ireland!

930. Yes! I love it.

931. Look at the way it's out on its own, out on its own.

932. Fucking beautiful place, it is. This is the first of many.

933. I'm going to buy land and have a gym, have fucking everything on it.

934. Horses and all. A farm.

935. A proper, proper compound.

936. That's a big operation.

937. I'll do that when the fighting is done. Know what I'm saying?

938. When the fighting is wrapped up, I'll go into that.

939. - Here we go!

940. - Notorious Conor McGregor. - Can you see that?

941. Black trunks for the champion, José Aldo Jr.

942. Conor relaxed and smiling.

943. - Oh! Just slapped him!

944. Conor McGregor is the new UFC featherweight champion of the world!

945. History.

946. - Long after I'm gone... - Yeah.

947. that will be played.

948. Do you know what I'm saying? The story will be told.

949. People can look back. I can look back.

950. - Even there, looking back, it's still weird, innit? - Yeah, it's mad.

951. I'm spinning both ways. I'm moving better than I've ever moved.

952. I honestly feel I am at a stage in my life where I can overcome anything.

953. I can conquer anything.

954. That's where I feel I'm at now, after coming through all that.

955. And now where I'm at, and what I have and what I've done,

956. I can... I can conquer anything.

957. Conor McGregor, you've taken everything I worked for, motherfucker!

958. I'm gonna fight your fucking ass!

959. You know what the real fight is. The real money fight is me.

960. UFC 196, as our featherweight champion, Conor McGregor,

961. moves up to welterweight to take on Nate Diaz.

962. You knocked out midgets.

963. - I'm a lion. I'm gonna eat you alive. - Short little people.

964. Your gazelle friends are gonna be staring at your carcass.

965. "We're never gonna cross this river again."

966. I like him. He can hang with it. He's just a big dope of a thing.

967. I could just continue. You know what I mean?

968. I'm the featherweight world champion.

969. But I seek challenges.

970. I went up again, another body type.

971. More questions from the fans, more anticipation.

972. - Thank you so much, Conor. Thank you so much. - I appreciate it. Thank you.

973. No fighter in the history of combat sport

974. has ever been 27 years of age and at the numbers that I am at.

975. I don't want him to come in close,

976. but he was right in me line of vision, and then I just blew up his hand.

977. "Get that thing out me face."

978. I've literally broken the Internet about ten days in a row.

979. We've never seen a guy make the moves that you're making.

980. A featherweight champion moving up two divisions to take a fight.

981. There's many scared pussies in the fight world.

982. People who don't take risks will never climb to that next level.

983. That's what champions do. That what generates interest.

984. I'm a hungry motherfucker that does not care who is in his way.

985. The gates keep rising. The pay-per-views keep rising.

986. Twenty-seven years of age at the very, very top, with no one even close.

987. I'd love to fight myself if I really could.

988. I mean, imagine the numbers that one would do.

989. Here we go!

990. Go on, Conor!

991. - Come on, Conor! - Kill 'em, Conor!

992. - Come on, Conor! - Yes!

993. That's where that left goes!

994. Conor, the aggressor here early.

995. - Round one, in the books.

996. Round two!

997. Conor's busting Nate up,

998. which in the Diaz world means absolutely nothing.

999. 'Cause he will fight until he can't fight any longer.

1000. Excellent exchanges here.

1001. Good one-two by Nate. Strong jab by Nate.

1002. Nate Diaz making up some ground here in the second round.

1003. - A big difference here. - The power of that uppercut.

1004. - He tagged him. - Got him with a good one.

1005. - He tagged him. He hurt him. - He hurt him with that left.

1006. - And he senses it. - He's wobbling.

1007. Diaz with a couple of big punches

1008. that landed on McGregor's chin.

1009. Oh, my goodness!

1010. - Diaz taking it to McGregor here! - He's hurting him!

1011. Conor!

1012. He caught him again with a right hook.

1013. And another left!

1014. And again with a combination!

1015. And Conor looks for the takedown.

1016. Look out for the guillotine!

1017. Diaz trying to finish with a submission.

1018. He's done it! Conor's in serious trouble!

1019. Diaz gets the mount! My goodness!

1020. - Now he's got the back! - He's got him flattened out!

1021. That's it! He's got the choke!

1022. - He tapped! He tapped! - He's done it!

1023. It is all over!

1024. Nate Diaz beats Conor McGregor!

1025. Yeah, Diaz!

1026. - Congratulations. - Diaz!

1027. - Good job. Good job, boy. - You're still the champ.

1028. Hey.

1029. Sorry, boys.

1030. It's okay. It's okay.

1031. - Sorry, buddy boy. - It's okay.

1032. Give him space, guys, yeah? Just stay in the zone.

1033. - What is it, the second round, yeah? - Near the end of the second.

1034. I don't know. I was hitting... I was slipping and banging that left hand.

1035. A load of times, he came short as well.

1036. One stage, I caught him with a clean uppercut,

1037. and he just was always there in me face.

1038. Pussied out, I did.

1039. Pussied out.

1040. What's up?

1041. - Here's Margaret now. - Mags. What's up, Mags? Sorry, Ma.

1042. Don't be worrying. I'm still proud of ya.

1043. It is what it is.

1044. We're all still proud of you, brother.

1045. You have nothing to be ashamed of. We're proud of you.

1046. He can take a few smacks, he can, the cunt.

1047. Yeah, he can.

1048. You stalked him. You were fucking merking him the entire time.

1049. You'll come back, I promise.

1050. I know you. Everybody here knows you.

1051. Fuck yeah.

1052. There's a lot of people who are obviously talking.

1053. I know José Aldo had some words to say.

1054. I've seen the José thing.

1055. He's celebrating somebody else's victory.

1056. That's not the sign of a true champion.

1057. Let's see how it plays. It is what it is.

1058. Right now, I'm just...

1059. bathing in defeat.

1060. Nothing surprised me.

1061. I knew I was the superior boxer, the superior martial artist.

1062. Superior jujitsu.

1063. He got a lot of push. He's been doing great.

1064. He's got a lot of help behind him. Wish I had the same help.

1065. I've been in this a long time.

1066. That was like my 25th fight here in the UFC.

1067. I'm at the top, so it's their call what's next.

1068. We'll see what happens.

1069. I was devastated for him.

1070. The fight is gut-wrenching to watch, win or lose.

1071. So when he lost, I just wanted to see him and make sure he was all right.

1072. Once he was all right, then I was okay.

1073. But it's hard to watch either way.

1074. Fights are horrific to watch.

1075. He just goes straight back in.

1076. He knew that he is the better fighter.

1077. He had a couple of hours and wanted the rematch straightaway and got it.

1078. So straight back into training and that was it. And here we are.

1079. Here we go.

1080. You're always learning. Always learning.

1081. Nobody knows everything.

1082. We'll get him this time.

1083. We'll get him this time.

1084. I could sit here and spout off a million excuses, but I lost.

1085. I fought me heart out, and I fucking lost, and that's it.

1086. All right?

1087. I have reasons why I feel that happened.

1088. The weight. The specific training.

1089. Now I have a chance to correct that.

1090. I have worked hard for this.

1091. I have worked very, very hard for this.

1092. That's the worst feeling in the world is waking up the next day.

1093. If you've taken a few digs and you're sore everywhere,

1094. and you've lost the fight.

1095. And that is the lowest point I've ever been at, I think.

1096. It just feels so shit. You feel like you've let everyone down.

1097. You walk on the street, you see some grandma walking up towards you,

1098. and you think, "She knows. She knows I lost.

1099. She's looking at me and she's thinking, 'Look at this loser. He lost.'"

1100. And I found the easiest way to deal with it is to get back to training.

1101. Just get it over with.

1102. You'll break a man... If you're standing there letting him know, he'll start to panic.

1103. Smash that leg every time. Get that head down and unload on the body.

1104. Open up Tyson style.

1105. You know what I mean? I just got in this looking for a knock and a few quid.

1106. I didn't get in there looking for everything else.

1107. Everything else happened, and I embraced it and ran and rolled with it.

1108. But when it comes down to it, I just want to get in and have a fight.

1109. So I'm just trying to pass the time before I get in,

1110. march forward, and throw bombs at this man.

1111. Every fighter, every team, every coach lives and dies in their last fight.

1112. Yeah, 'cause guess what. Our reputation's on the line.

1113. Structured. We've been very structured, very focused.

1114. I think structure is the key to true success.

1115. People say this and that.

1116. People who say those things, the naysayers, they weren't with me before anyway.

1117. They're not gonna be with me after I get this one back either,

1118. so I don't pay attention to them.

1119. Do you need to beat Nate Diaz, in your mind,

1120. to validate the things that you've said?

1121. Yeah, 100%.

1122. Most importantly, I'll go out there and represent my team.

1123. I have reasons why I felt I performed that way.

1124. Thankfully, I have an opportunity to answer that.

1125. Tune in August 20, you'll see the real me.

1126. All right, let's go.

1127. Let's go. Come on. We're going.

1128. What's up, everybody? Thanks for coming today. We appreciate it.

1129. Can you tell me, I guess, what you're feeling right now?

1130. Once again, Conor McGregor is not here.

1131. We're having a press conference here.

1132. If it's over before he gets here, then it's over.

1133. Do you have any questions? Other than Conor being late?

1134. Yeah, so they started the press conference without you.

1135. Okay, okay. Dana said, "We're going to start with or without him.

1136. He needs to respect those times."

1137. I want you to be aware of what you're walking into.

1138. All right, cool. Bye. Bye. Bye.

1139. He was like, "Well, fuck, we're walking into a war zone, but we already knew that.

1140. What's up?"

1141. Nate, do you feel that you exposed Conor McGregor

1142. as a better talker than he is a fighter?

1143. I just think I beat him, and I thought I could beat him the whole time.

1144. Obviously, Conor McGregor is going to believe he's going to win the fight.

1145. That's what he said last time.

1146. He's either lying to himself or trying to make himself believe it.

1147. He's a little silly, man.

1148. But when he goes to sleep at night,

1149. he'll remember what happened the last time.

1150. Are you able to clear up why you are a little late to the press conference?

1151. Vegas traffic is heavy this time of year.

1152. There must be a McGregor show going on,

1153. because the place is packed out.

1154. - Fuck your whole team! How about that? - Fuck your whole team.

1155. You'll do nothing. You'll do nothing.

1156. - Come get you some, motherfucker! - Shut your fucking mouth!

1157. You'll do fucking nothing!

1158. Not one of ya's will do nothing. Get the fuck out of here!

1159. That's a wrap. Get them out of here.

1160. Sorry, guys. See you Saturday.

1161. - Dee got that. - And I threw it right back at him.

1162. He looked me in the eye and was all, "Oh, shit."

1163. Fuck all that.

1164. Fuck all that. Are you serious? Like, it's...

1165. You have time. You have time.

1166. You gotta be smart. All you guys gotta be smart.

1167. I'm the only one throwing bottles?

1168. Even better, don't throw the bottle.

1169. - Let them fucking throw... - You've just seen them throwing bottles.

1170. I just started throwing them back.

1171. I'm gonna get that little skinny bastard.

1172. Shut your fucking mouth! You'll do nothing!

1173. Not one of ya's will do nothing!

1174. Throwing bottles like thicks.

1175. Stupid, that was, yeah?

1176. - All they had to do was walk outta there. - Yeah.

1177. Do what they were doing and walk out.

1178. Throw bottles, then it's different.

1179. It's past a little scheduled fight for me now.

1180. The yokes had to bounce one off her elbow.

1181. That's enough for me to catch one.

1182. Outside of everything else, seriously, that's...

1183. - I don't give a bollocks about the fight, to be honest. - I hear you.

1184. You do understand why it's not that smart.

1185. But I understand where the emotions are coming from, you know.

1186. Official weight, 168!

1187. He should have killed me when he had the chance,

1188. 'cause now I'm back, and I'm gonna kill you and your whole fucking team!

1189. - You and them bitch tits!

1190. Where's Dylan?

1191. Where the fuck is Dylan now? For fuck's sake.

1192. Tactics and technique.

1193. That's where I'm at now.

1194. The illusion of crazy is...

1195. Now it's winding up.

1196. Small crew, go in, step by step.

1197. No wild exchanges. No walking out. Pick your shots.

1198. Mm-hmm.

1199. There are so many questions involved in this fight.

1200. But if I was Nate Diaz, I'd feel pretty confident.

1201. He has the strength behind him. He has the size advantage behind him.

1202. I think we're going to see Diaz being vintage Diaz.

1203. Guys, it is prediction time now. Does Conor McGregor exact his revenge?

1204. No. I think Nate Diaz is going to overwhelm him.

1205. I gotta go with Diaz in this matchup.

1206. Yeah, I'm going with Diaz as well.

1207. I think he's going to be bigger, stronger,

1208. and he's going to stop him in the third round.

1209. I'll see you out there, right?

1210. - You sure you're all right? - Yeah.

1211. - Are you all right? - Yeah.

1212. All right, fellas, here we go.

1213. Let's go, let's go, let's go.

1214. Gentlemen, you know the rules. Protect yourself at all times.

1215. Obey my commands at all times.

1216. I want you to fight hard but fight clean.

1217. If you wanna touch gloves, touch now. Good luck to both of you.

1218. The fight's scheduled for five five-minute rounds.

1219. Conor looking for redemption.

1220. He rocked him.

1221. Straight left connects.

1222. Those are brutal leg kicks he's landing on Nate.

1223. Nate's having a problem with that leg, Mike. He's moving on it funny.

1224. Fight going according to plan thus far for McGregor.

1225. 1-nothing, McGregor.

1226. Stay with the leg kicks. Don't push anything.

1227. Keep doing what you're doing. You've got four rounds to go.

1228. Oh! Big left!

1229. He's picking him apart right now.

1230. Nate putting pressure on him. He senses Conor's slowing down. Nate moving forward.

1231. And he rocks him. We have ourselves a fight!

1232. Nate Diaz weathered the storm,

1233. and now Conor McGregor is in trouble.

1234. Wow!

1235. Things just got real interesting.

1236. This is why you push yourself every day.

1237. Recover. Recover.

1238. Nate, get him against the cage.

1239. Pump that jab like you do, that left hand.

1240. - Don't let him hit you with the left. - Hold on. Hold on.

1241. - Conor's still breathing heavy, Mike. - Yep.

1242. - Conor is fading radically here. - And Nate senses it.

1243. Nate just pointed to him, and he just rocked him.

1244. Big, deep breaths by Conor.

1245. And the chants of "Diaz" ring through the crowd.

1246. Diaz! Diaz!

1247. Diaz! Diaz!

1248. Diaz!

1249. Conor!

1250. - Good job. - There's the big body shots.

1251. - McGregor is in big trouble here. - Diaz is going off!

1252. Diaz looking to finish him right here, right now!

1253. Big trouble for McGregor.

1254. Final seconds of the round.

1255. Just trying to survive.

1256. Wow.

1257. Huge round for Nate Diaz.

1258. Just recover. Just recover.

1259. These are those last few rounds, and they're over.

1260. You're winning the clinch every time.

1261. If your back's against the fence, hands up, they hit your arms.

1262. You can slip and catch them on your arms. They're slaps.

1263. Just recover. Loads of time. Rinse and spit.

1264. This is it now. Championship rounds.

1265. Conor reenergized here.

1266. He's seems to have caught a second wind, Mike.

1267. Five minutes for the best fight of your life. Five minutes.

1268. This is a dogfight, ladies and gentlemen. A real dogfight.

1269. Biggest fight in MMA history, and they're still swinging.

1270. Wow! What a fight.

1271. - They left it all inside the octagon. - What a fight.

1272. Those men just gave everything they had.

1273. And win, lose, or draw,

1274. that was an incredible performance by both fighters.

1275. Great fucking fight. You're a real Mexican warrior.

1276. As the judges render their decision...

1277. this is the longest couple of minutes

1278. in McGregor and Diaz's life.

1279. All right, it's in.

1280. Ladies and gentlemen, after five rounds,

1281. we go to the judges' scorecards for a decision.

1282. 48-47, McGregor.

1283. 47-47 and 48-47

1284. for the winner by majority decision,

1285. the Notorious

1286. Conor McGregor!

1287. Surprise, surprise, motherfucker! The king is back.

1288. Oh, my gosh. That was the craziest fight I've ever seen.

1289. - What a fucking fight. - It was epic.

1290. Both of them have that dog in them,

1291. and it was one of the best fights ever.

1292. Yeah, if it's not a bloody fight, it's not a ruddy fight.

1293. They all doubted me. Every one of you was doubting me.

1294. Who doubt me now? Huh? Who doubt me now?

1295. - The king is back! - Who doubt me now?

1296. Everyone's surprised, motherfucker!

1297. Surprise, surprise, motherfucker. The king is back.

1298. They all doubted me. They all doubted me.

1299. They all doubted me.

1300. - The champ is here. - Doubt me now. Doubt me now.

1301. What a night. What a night. He was about 190 in there.

1302. He was about 25 pounds heavier than me in there.

1303. I fucking love it.

1304. Prior to the first fight with Nate Diaz,

1305. your goal was to be a two-division champion.

1306. - Is that still a goal of yours? - You're damn right it is.

1307. Most certainly.

1308. I still envision two and possibly three belts on my shoulder.

1309. There you go. Get it.

1310. Five, four, three, two, one.

1311. And time.

1312. It's what I've dreamed into reality. Whoo! That looks good!

1313. That looks good! God bless.

1314. Somebody's "0" has got to go.

1315. You line 'em up, and I knock 'em down like bowling pins.

1316. How does it feel to know that you're polarizing the world right now?

1317. I'm changing the world.

1318. One, two, three!

1319. Fuck the Mayweathers!

1320. You're 40 years of age. Dress your fucking age.

1321. Life is so good. I'm living the dream here.

1322. This is history-making shit, so I'm just embracing every moment.

1323. God don't make mistakes.

1324. And God only made one thing perfect, and that's my boxing record.

1325. How's he gonna get under my skin?

1326. I'm fucking topless up here with a fucking mink coat on.

1327. I don't give a fuck.

1328. We are six weeks out from the biggest fight in sporting history,

1329. - and I'm 29 today.

1330. - Yay! Yay! - Hiya!

1331. Hello.

1332. What am I doing?

1333. He's engaging more and more every day. Do you know what I mean?

1334. - Yeah.

1335. I'm trying to fuck you up.

1336. Keep trying. Keep trying.

1337. It's definitely gone to a crazier place than it's ever been, right?

1338. I'm just unbelievably grateful that I get to lead this life. You know that I mean?
