Superstitions ‘are fear’
McGregor appears in a video for Reebok, talking about superstitions.
I think superstitions, for me personally, is just another word for fear. You need to wear your lucky pants, and then all of the sudden, your lucky pants aren’t there and then you start freaking out. It’s simply fear in another word…I can do anything, I can eat anything, I can wear anything. I am confident that I can enter the fight without needing anything artificial.
Video goes viral

He is released from hospital after two hours. Doctor:
Omran was in the same daze and shock you saw he had when he was in the ambulance. He was in the same situation, he did not cry at all.

People who’ve been grinding with me since day one… If feel I jumped up three levels, as a martial artist, as a fighter, and as a man. It’s been an amazing experience.

UFC Bad Blood: McGregor Spars with Southpaws
UFC releases a second trailer for Bad Blood, showing McGregor sparring with southpaws, including Wallace.
I’m certainly preparing a lot more specific. Usually, I don’t prepare specific, because they always pull out, every time. I know Nate will show up. This time I know this fight will go down. This time I know I’ll be facing a tall, lanky southpaw, with the height, the weight, and the reach on me. So I am preparing accordingly…I’m feeling very confident. It’s gonna be a bad night for Nate.
Kavanagh:
For the first fight we didn’t even have one training session with a similar opponent. Now, it’s all we’ve done for the last few months.

McGregor:
We were certain to fight each other for a long time. And then it came about. It came about quickly..I was dominating the fight, and then, like that, I lost. How can I slap a guy’s face all around the Octagon for eight minutes, and then lose that way?
