Fans were infuriated with this Conor McGregor’s interview after he made history at UFC 205

Missed half of what he said

Surprise, surprise, the King (of New York) is back.

The UFC’s historic New York city debut with history being made as Conor McGregor became the first fighter to hold two belts in separate divisions simultaneously.

The featherweight champion took on veteran brawler Eddie Alvarez, a fighter who’s durability has been regarded as one of the strongest weapons in all of MMA for years and McGregor dropped him three times in the opening round, before knocking him out in the second.

After securing the victory, McGregor grabbed the mic off Joe Rogan and proceeded to give a fitting Octagon interview to cap off the superb performance. However, there was on slight problem with the live broadcast of the interview as the audio kept cutting off when BT Sport censored some of the swearing while McGregor was rattling off memorable quotes and snappy zingers.

You can see an un-bleeped version here, including his amazing line “I want to take the time to apologise… to absolutely nobody!”

But a lot of fans weren’t too enthralled about missing out on the other gems that didn’t go out live.
