Conor McGregor fans will absolutely love this behind the scenes footage of UFC 205

An up close and personal look at McGregor's pre-fight routine

Watch history unfold like you’ve never seen it before.

Much like the electric walkout and impressive performances in the octagon, Owen Roddy’s vlog is a regular feature of any Conor McGregor fight. If you’ve ever wanted to get an up close and personal look at McGregor’s routine then this is for you.

In some fascinating behind the scenes footage, the dual weight champion watches on as Yoel Romero’s delivers his flying-knee knockout of Chris Weidman, but that’s just a precursor for what’s to come.

At the 4.30 mark, it’s all business as McGregor commences sparring on the mat before the main event. That walkout with Sinead O’Connor blaring out over Madison Square Garden is probably the next best thing to being there.

Roddy keeps filming though as we get a close look at Joe Rogan’s famous post-fight interview with The Notorious in the ring before getting a glimpse at McGregor’s celebrations after leaving the venue.

Take a look here:

Meanwhile, mcGregor has named his price to switch codes and box Floyd Mayweather.

On Tuesday night in a New York nightclub, McGregor took the microphone and declared:

“Floyd’s not ready for this. Much respect for Floyd, he’s a solid businessman. What he has been able to do, he has been a f**king animal at what he has been able to do.

“But as far as real fighting – as far as true, pure, unarmed combat – Floyd does not want none of this. He does not want none of this.

“He wants it under boxing rules, he wants a boxing match. He doesn’t want to fight.

“Much respect to every one of you here. Give Floyd a shout; tell him I’m coming. Tell him to run around Showtime’s offices.

“I want $100 million, cash, to fight you under boxing rules, because he’s afraid of a real fight.”

 

Showtime, the boxing broadcasters, and Mayweather have been given their price if they want McGregor to strap up and get into the boxing ring.

This fight remains in the realm of fantasy but the talk, at least, is ramping up.
