Ecstatic! I’ve watched the replay a million times! Between the smoothness of the shot itself, to studying all the nuances of it, to the placement of Proper Twelve on the finish, as well as all over the ring, it’s safe to say this mornings Irish coffee was quite delightful! https://t.co/kSw4oxPdZj

McGregor on whether or not he intends to return to welterweight:
For sure! I will commit to the 155lb division for 2021 however. Some great matchups to be had here, as well as unfinished business. I will show the world once again who I am, and what I’m about. Trust that!
170 is in my thoughts also however.
You know me for doubling up… https://t.co/wmrg4Y9Cvl— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) November 1, 2020

Excellent fighter! The trilogy will be of epic proportions when it goes down. Nathan, and his fighting styles, are never far from my thoughts throughout my own practices.
