Video appearance0 Comments

At the Face Off in London with Aldo, McGregor taunts the Brazilian for not bringing his belt.

You forgot your belt. You forgot your belt…It’s a mental sign. It’s ok, it’s a mental sign….

To reporters:

He hasn’t wanted a hold of that belt for the whole trip. He wants it away from him.  You haven’t wanted to hold it. Translate that for him.

Inside the Mac Mansion

Video appearance0 Comments

McGregor gives a tour of the mansion he is renting in las Vegas.

I wrote out some rules. The Mac Mansion house rules. Rule No. 1 Don’t talk about Fight Club…Rule 5: This is the rule that’s to do with the fridge. No processed sugars, treats, desserts. I don’t want to come down here to the fridge and see a big cake staring at me at the face and tempting me, ‘cos then I’ll eat the whole damn thing.

Disabled fan’s ‘miracle’

Video appearance0 Comments

Graham Merrigan, an Irish McGregor fan, recounts watching him fight.

The last fight with Aldo, I was in my friends house. I was in shock that it ended in 13 seconds. I nearly tried to stand up. My friend stood up and I used my friend’s shoulder and I was like, ‘Oh they don’t work’. He almost brought me to my feet. He nearly made a miracle!

Crashes fan’s apartment

Video appearance0 Comments

While driving around Las Vegas McGregor spots a cardboard cutout of himself on a fan’s balcony, and decides to pay a surprise visit.

I’m here on the West Coast. Like most fights I usually come out here two, three weeks before. But every time I come back it seems to be a little bit  more crazy with the fans. They’ve been treating me like I’m one of their own. I’ve been driving to the gym and I drive past this guy’s apartment, and on the balcony he’s got Irish flags, and a cardboard cut out of me. Now we’re gonna drop in to him and see what he’s about…

In the fan’s place:

I’m blown away by this…I’m gonna put on a show for you.

Fan:

Every Saturday before the fight I put up my cardboard cutout, I put up the flag, and I put up the banner. The only thing I can say is, that feeling he had with Jose Aldo when he knocked him out and became the champ. Hands down, that’s how it felt tonight. That’s how amazing it was.
