The latest installment of “The Mac Life,” which follows UFC Featherweight Champion as he prepares for his UFC Lightweight Championship shot against Eddie Alvarez in the UFC 205 main event, has dropped, and it’s a good one.
Featured above from TheMacLife.com is the newest episode, which includes a segment of footage that was filmed for the official UFC 205 Countdown show.
Conor McGregor looks to make history as not only the headliner of the first ever UFC event in Madison Square Garden or New York in general, but as the first person to simaltaneously hold two titles in the UFC.
UFC 205: Alvarez vs. McGregor takes place on Saturday, November 12th at the world-famous Madison Square Garden in New York City. Join us here at MMANews.com on 11/12 for live results coverage of the pay-per-view.

As he starts to both prepare for his expected Octagon return in the gym, while also making sure to follow through with all of the necessary moves on the legal side of things, the word going around is that at the very least, Jon Jones won’t be on the sidelines for the multiple-year sentences initially making the rounds when news became public regarding being pulled from the UFC 200 main event against Daniel Cormier for testing positive on a pre-fight test.
This weekend, “Bones” Jones showed a glimpse of the former (see below), as he showed off the latest from his work inside the gym, returning to the 500 pound mark on the deadlift.
Jones posted the footage on his official Instagram page on Saturday along with a caption that included a joke that poked fun at expected responses referencing steroids in some form or fashion, particularly because of his current status nearly begging for the obviuos connection to be made by the always-clever social media fanbase.
“Felt good to throw up 500 pounds today. It’s been over four months, glad to know I still got it. Didn’t even try maxing out. I figured since I have nothing coming up I would work on my base strength.. Bring on the juice jokes.”

“I wanted to make sure when we went to New York, we delivered.”
“I wanted to make sure when we went to New York, we delivered.”
According to public opinion, they absolutely did.
Those were the words of UFC President Dana White, who appeared live on FOX Sports 1 (FS1) during game three of the MLB World Series between the Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians on Friday.
White announced during his appearance on the game (see above) that the UFC has already broken the previous gate record at Madison Square Garden for their upcoming New York debut show, featuring a stacked fight card headlined by three UFC World Championship fights.
“It’s the biggest, baddest card we’ve ever done in the history of the company,” White said of the show featuring Eddie Alvarez vs. Conor McGregor in the main event slot, with Alvarez’s 155-pound title on the line.
The previous MSG gate record for a combat sports event was the Lennox Lewis vs. Evander Holyfield boxing match in 1999, which drew 21,284 paid for a $13.5 million gate. When UFC introduces the big leagues of professional MMA to the Empire State next month, the new record will be UFC 205: Alvarez vs. McGregor, according to the UFC boss man.
UFC 205: Alvarez vs. McGregor is scheduled to take place on Saturday, November 12th at the world-famous Madison Square Garden in New York City. Join us here at MMANews.com on 11/12 for live results coverage of the pay-per-view.

Well, the recent social media protest of Reebok has cost Fabricio Werdum a pretty cool gig.
The former UFC Heavyweight Champion announced via his official Instagram page on Friday that due to his comments about Reebok on social media, he has been removed from his position in the UFC as a commentator and analyst for their Spanish-speaking television deal.
The following is the statement Werdum made in the video he released on Instagram earlier today, which is also available below.
“I just want to make everything clear about my post of @Nike and @Reebok. I did this to protest about the sponsorship. Before Rebook got into UFC all the fighters use to make a lot of money with other sponsors, including me, and now they are paying me only $5,000 per fight. I didn’t get penalized because I have no contract with them, but they cut me out of the tv broadcast.”
As noted, UFC was apparently trying to put together a fight between reigning UFC Middleweight Champion and arguably the best-ever UFC Welterweight Champion in MMA history, Georges St-Pierre for their upcoming UFC 206 event in December.

As noted, UFC was apparently trying to put together a fight between reigning UFC Middleweight Champion and arguably the best-ever UFC Welterweight Champion in MMA history, Georges St-Pierre for their upcoming UFC 206 event in December.
During the latest episode of his SIRIUS-XM radio show, “The Countdown with Michael Bisping,” the UFC’s top dog at 185-pounds spoke about the negotiations for the GSP fight this week and why “Rush” is still someone he wants to see standing across the Octagon at some point before his career is over.
“In a perfect world, for me, I’d fight Georges St-Pierre in six weeks time. That’s just around the corner and all the other guys are tied up. Georges St-Pierre would be the biggest payday of my career, bar none. So excuse me for trying to get the biggest payday of my career…
“It would end off a perfect year for me. I’ve had the best year of my career and to finish it off with a guy like Georges St-Pierre, another legend, a former champion, a Hall of Famer, a guy who was a pioneer of the sport, an undoubtedly a guy who was pound for pound one of the best in the history of this sport, to beat him and to get my biggest payday, that would end the best year of my career; and my next fight would be against Chris Weidman. In a perfect world, that is what I would like.”
Additionally, “The Count” spoke about his desire to get right back into action and also mentioned how Nick Diaz is another top star in the UFC that he would like to be matched up against when the time does come to sort out when, where and whom he will be fighting in his next Octagon appearance.
“I’m down to fight ASAP because Dana and the UFC put this in my mind, fighting at 206. So now in my mind I want to fight at 206. I was ready to take the rest of the year off and do nothing and enjoy being the champion and have some time with my kids and go away for Thanksgiving. But then this was put in my mind again and now I want to fight in Toronto.
“So yeah, if it’s not gonna be GSP, I don’t mind being on the card against somebody else and Nick Diaz is somebody else that moves the needle… His last fight was against Anderson Silva so he’s fought at 185, and if Nick Diaz wants to do it, I’ll fight Nick Diaz. If anybody wants to do it, I’ll do it.”
Below are a couple of excerpts from the latest edition of “The Countdown with Michael Bisping.”
