'UFC 205: On the Ground,' No. 2: Conor McGregor and his big Irish, uh, boasts – yeah, boasts

NEW YORK – The UFC’s long-awaited return to New York is in full swing, and Conor McGregor brought the heat, as usual.

The UFC’s featherweight champ was predictably late to today’s pre-fight press conference at Madison Square Garden, much to the dismay of his opponent, Eddie Alvarez (28-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC), who briefly stormed off the stage, only to return later and reclaim the belt McGregor (20-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC) briefly walked to his side of the stage.

After the press conference, MMAjunkie caught up with UFC middleweight champ Michael Bisping to ask him about his plans, and what he thinks of Saturday’s UFC 205 fight card.

MMAjunkie’s Mike Bohn and Chamatkar Sandhu recap the madness from Manhattan.

Get caught up on what went down today “On the Ground” in New York. Check out the video above.
