Conor McGregor thrilled audiences when he demolished lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 during the first ever card at the historic Madison Square Garden in New York City. With that win he made some more history when he became the first ever UFC fighter to hold titles in two different weight divisions at the same time.

In the following video we get an inside peek at Conor McGregor and his camp backstage before he went out and made history. In the footage we see Conor watching the under card fights where he commented on the Romero/Weidman knockout, remarking that it was a bad knockout. He later congratulates Romero, giving him props which was a cool gesture.

We also see Conor getting warmed up as well as getting his hands wrapped before he goes out there. What is quite remarkable about this footage is how relaxed and calm he is before such a huge moment. Though you can’t really tell how he’s feeling on the inside, on the outside at least he appears very chilled out and confident before he makes the walk.
