Watch live as Conor McGregor speaks for the first time since making history at UFC 205

The big announcement may be minutes away

Darragh Murphy

Conor McGregor is the new UFC lightweight champion.

And we’re sure he’s going to match the stellar striking game he showed in the Octagon with his sublime skills on the mic once he meets the media in New York.

The fighters involved in the momentous UFC 205 fight card are set to take to the podium in Madison Square Garden in the next few minutes and while you may have to wait a little while for ‘The Notorious’ to appear, it’s certainly expected to be worth the wait.

McGregor has, for months, teased a “big announcement” that would come after this bout was said and done, and history was made.

So it wouldn’t be at all surprising to see him make it this morning. He’s definitely going to be peppered with questions about it.

At the very least we can expect to get another “heartfelt apology” towards his fellow fighters.
