The UFC’s long road to New York culminates with UFC 205 at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night.

Conor McGregor hopes to make history by becoming the first UFC fighter to hold two belts simultaneously.

He already has the featherweight title but must overcome Eddie Alvarez to claim the lightweight crown.

The prospect doesn’t daunt the SBG fighter, who tells us: “I’m always looking to make history, every single day.”

The Dubliner also strongly defended himself against criticism for fighting in more than one division, which some fighters have said is unfair and denying others chances.

Go behind the scenes with Eddie Alvarez and Conor McGregor in the UFC’s countdown show for the event — ‘Fighting For History’.

We will have coverage and reaction to the fight in the early hours of Sunday morning as we watch to see if McGregor can become the UFC’s first dual champion.

It’s going to be epic.
