Conor McGregor hasn’t scored a submission win since 2012 when he was still competing for Cage Warriors.

But, the reigning UFC featherweight champion has his sights set on ending that streak when he meets Eddie Alvarez for the lightweight belt at UFC 205 on Saturday night.

“I’m expecting him to come out tough, trying to make it a dirty. I’m too clean. I’m too smooth and devastating,” McGregor said. “I can hit you from any angle. I’m confident. I hope he brings it. I’ll butcher him. I’m ready. If he leaves a limb or a neck, I’ll grab that, too.”

After knocking out Jose Aldo and winning the belt, he moved up to welterweight and lost for the first time in the Octagon against Nate Diaz. McGregor, though, claimed a decision in the rematch with Diaz and now has his sights set on making history at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

“There’s a very strong energy here. I look forward utilizing it in the fight,” he said. “It’s unbelievable. I’m honored and overwhelmed and grateful. I’m relishing the moment.”

Tyron Woodley knows all about the history of Madison Square Garden.

That’s why he is so excited to get to showcase his skills and defend his welterweight title Saturday night at UFC 205 vs. Stephen Thompson.

“They didn’t tell me they were going to walk me in front of the Joe Frazier – Muhammad Ali billboard and for me to fight at the same arena as Muhammad Ali, ‘Wonderboy’ better be ready to die because he’s going to get these hands,” Woodley said during an interview on UFC Tonight.

Woodley won the belt with a thrilling first round knockout of Robbie Lawler earlier this year. And why he didn’t get Nick Diaz or Georges St-Pierre as requested, he knows Thompson is a threat not to take lightly.

“I’m going to be a complete mixed martial artists. I can wrestle, I can grapple, and I have knockout power,” he said. “I’m good at not letting anyone make good at me.”

Joanna Jedrzejczyk will defend her strawweight title on Saturday at UFC 205 vs. top contender Karolina Kowalkiewicz.

Jedrzejczyk has held the title since a 2015 second round finish of Carla Esparza, scoring three successful title defenses over Jessica Penne, Valerie Letourneau and Claudia Gadelha.

Despite being 12-0 and having a perfect run on her resume, Jedrzejczyk changed training camps ahead of UFC 205.

“Last year was crazy for the rest of the champions. Me and Demetrious (Johnson) were the only ones defending our belts,” she said. “I had to change something and I went to (American Top Team). I have good coaches. There are so many athletes that I can train with. I’m going to be different in this fight.”

Jedrzejczyk hasn’t fallen into that trap of lacking motivation, saying that remaining champion is all she cares about.

“So many people said there’s a big gap between me, Claudia and everyone else, but I don’t think so,” she said. “This belt is staying with me. When I train, there’s no excuses.”

I expect this to be an iconic event,” said White, during an interview on UFC Tonight. “It’ll be one of the greatest live fight ever in Madison Square Garden history. For us to put on an event, and to become part of the history and legacy, it’s pretty surreal. It’s awesome.”

Conor McGregor: On Saturday Night I’ll Become Immortal

It was just a few years ago Conor McGregor stood in the middle of the octagon a virtual nobody and said, “We didn’t come to take part, we came to take over.”

And take over he has. Now just days away from UFC 205, McGregor is on the verge of making history as the UFC’s first two-division champion.

McGregor (20-3), the UFC’s featherweight champion, is set to headline the biggest PPV in UFC history and on the biggest stage in sports, Madison Square Garden, against lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez (28-4). McGregor knows full well a victory over Alvarez would solidify his legacy as one of the sport’s greats.

“Saturday night I’ll become immortal,” McGregor said in a video produced by MMA Junkie of the UFC 205 open workout. “I get the second belt, raise it up, never been done before. It means absolutely everything to me. It’s my life’s work. I’m ready to come in here prepared, ready to stop Eddie in devastating fashion.”

McGregor has never been one to shy away from calling his shot and this time is no different. “Mystic Mac” has stated on numerous occasions that he would KO Alvarez inside the first round. He believes Alvarez will be unable to figure him out, promising fans are “in for a treat”:

“I feel I can do it in many ways. I can paint many pictures inside that octagon,” McGregor said. ” I can come out with many different styles. All you have to do is look at my previous fights, every fight is different, every shot is different, every approach is different, that’s why they can’t figure me out. So, believe me you’re in for a treat.”

McGregor is well aware of the magnitude of this event and according to him there was no way he was going to miss it.

“It means the world to me. It’s why I kept pushing on it. I have had a crazy busy year. I have been working very hard for you fans,” McGregor said. “I couldn’t miss this event, no way. I built this event.”

Tyron Woodley: My Last Loss Was My Last Loss

Reigning UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley will look to make the first defense of his 170-pound title in the co-main event of this weekend’s (Nov. 12, 2016) UFC 205, but many feel as if he’ll have a tough test in front of him, as he’s set to take on the surging Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson, a

While many feel as if Thompson has the tools necessary to dethrone “The Chosen One”, Woodley doesn’t plan on surrendering his strap any time soon:

“It’s my time,” Woodley told MMAJunkie at today’s UFC 205 open workouts. “I’m not losing to anybody. My last loss was my last loss.”

Despite coming off of a brutal first round knockout of Robbie Lawler last July, Woodley has been deemed the underdog against Thompson, although he isn’t bothered by that, as it actually adds ‘fuel’ to his ‘fire’:

“They like to fuel my fire,” Woodley said of the oddsmakers. “I’ve been the underdog my last five fights and I’ve won them. … I think (my fight is) just pure domination, pure violence. I plan on annihilating everyone in this division and I’m going to prove everyone wrong.”

Do you expect Woodley to retain his title on Saturday at the famed Madison Square Garden in New York, or will “Wonderboy” walk away as the new undisputed champion?
