‘It feels like I f***ing earned it, that’s how it feels.’
Conor McGregor does not make an appearance until the closing stages of UFC’s ‘The thrill and the agony’ package about the fight night in Las Vegas, on Saturday.
When he does, The Notorious is captured at his most open and candid.
There is no shield up, or bravado on show; simply, a shattered man that has realised his dreams.
He shares some moments of celebration with his family and reflects on an interim title win and the closest call he has had yet in the UFC.
UFC 189 did not go quite as well for Canadian welterweight Rory MacDonald. Having gone into the fifth round with Robbie Lawler, only to lose, MacDonald looks incredibly worse for wear.
Elsewhere, Dana White curses like a trouper as he consoles Brad Pickett on his loss, tells Robbie Lawler to keep his lacerated mouth shut and praises Chad Mendes for pushing McGregor to the brink.
Go to 3:10 for McGregor-Mendes.
