We’ve got a fight, ladies and gentlemen.

Both Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather came in under the 154lbs weight limit on the eve of the most anticipated fight of the year.

Despite the rumours of a rough weight cut, McGregor came in at 153lbs while ‘Money’ coasted to 149.5lbs before the men came face to face for the final time before fight night.

The Irish in attendance clearly lit a fire under ‘The Notorious’ and he let fly at his foe when they squared off at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Now in case you missed any of what McGregor roared at Mayweather due to the noise of the crowd, we’ve taken the liberty of transcribing exactly what was said.

“You little bitch! You little short-arse bitch,” McGregor shouted.

“You ain’t got shit on me, you little short-arse, weak-arse bitch.

“I’ll kill you stone dead. Know that!

“I’m going to make you beg me… I’m going to make you beg me to follow those rules in there. Know that.

“Get your hand off me or I’ll break you down right here. 149lbs? You look about 160lbs and all. You’re all blown out.

“Aaaaagh!

“Éire! Éire! Éire!”
