This sums up the focus both men had and the conviction they both held.
Conor McGregor set out his agenda in 2013, as soon as he joined the UFC - he would be a two-weight world champion.
In 2014, as his star was beginning to rise, he set an even loftier goal.

In the early hours of Sunday morning, at Madison Square Garden, McGregor claimed his second belt. There was the traditional post-fight selfie:

McGregor then called for his share of the UFC.
The Thrill and the Agony provides a superb insight to the night UFC history was made by The Notorious and his team. It also features some great behind-the-scenes glimpses of other big fights on the bill.
We get to see Miesha Tate call time on her career, Khabib Nurmagomedov trash-talking to UFC president Dana White and Chris Weidman's corner react to their guy's brutal knock-out against Yoel Romero.
There is a nice interaction between McGregor and Kavanagh straight after the fight. We know, from Kavanagh's MMA Hour interview, that he said, "You did it. Two-weight world champion," to McGregor. As he beheld the image of himself with a gold belt draped over each shoulder, The Notorious declared:
"Oh, that looks good. Look at that coach. It looks right."
The preview [below] is excellent. We can't wait for the full feature.
