UFC Embedded – Episode 6
UFC releases the sixth episode of its Embedded series. Alvarez and McGregor continue their war of words after the post-fight press conference. Jedrzejczyk cuts weight and shoots rubber bands at teammate Lawler. All the fighters in the event’s title bouts make weight at the official weigh-in Friday morning, even as McGregor and Alvarez continue to trade barbs. Later that day, as fans pack Madison Square Garden to see the fighters face off on stage. McGregor:
CMG: All you’ve go to do is look at his face. That boy is ugly. He will be unrecognisable by the end of the contest. Just look at Nate Diaz.
EA: I could care less about the way I look after a fight. I will win and the fight won’t end until I win.
CMG: It’s all over Edward.
EA: I took on the best guys in the world. One by one by one. I’ve been top in the world for years. Years. This guy’s just coming on this sport.
CMG: Come on Eddie, you’ve been over in Japan, or some shit. You’ve been fighting bums all your life. You’ve never been on this stage. You’ve never been against a guy like me. You’re an absolute bum. Look at your face! You’re the most beat up guy there is.

I’ve had a crazy year. I wouldn’t miss this event. I built this event. On Saturday night I become immortal. I’m ready to stop my opponent in devastating fashion.

UFC 205 Embedded: Vlog Series – Episode 1
Alvarez and McGregor appear in the the first episode of UFC 205 Embedded. Their respective coaches and sparring partners also appear. Alvarez:
Conor McGregor is so offensive minded and never on the defense that whenever you put him on the defense he gets so flustered and so upset. At a certain point on our press conference cal he got desperate and started talking about my wife and kids and things like that. For me, It’s just a sign of desperation. You don’t talk about another man’s family unless you’re through the roof pissed off.
McGregor:
Just more of the same hard f-cking work. Day in day out.

Alvarez vs McGregor – Champion vs Champion
UFC releases a promo video for UFC 205, called Champion vs Champion, featuring McGregor and Alvarez. Rogan narrates:
Eddie Alvarez is an incredibly dangerous fighter. He is a blood and guts warrior…Eddie’s bigger, he’s as fast, and he’s a better wrestler than Conor McGregor. Conor McGregor is coming off the most important victory of his UFC career. The Nate Diaz fight showed that he can be one of the best 155 pound fighters in the world.
