Conor McGregor Sheds Light On ‘Big’ Post-UFC 205 Announcement

With rumors circulating around the mixed martial arts (MMA) media waves that ‘The Notorious’ UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor will be making a major announcement after his UFC 205 clash with Eddie Alvarez next month, the 145-pound champ has confirmed that the rumors are in fact true.

Recently speaking with MMA Junkie, McGregor confirmed that he will in fact be making a ‘big’ announcement from the Madison Square Garden arena, and advises fans to hit the order button on their remotes to tune it:

“Buy the pay-per-view and stay tuned,” McGregor said. “Don’t blink. It’s going to be big.”

During a recent appearance on the ‘Outside The Cage’ podcast, UFC President Dana White stated that McGregor’s announcement is completely unexpected, but it’s the Irishman’s business to announce:

“There are… how can I say this? There are other circumstances involved in this that will be played out after the fight,” White said. “It’s something completely out of left field but it’s Conor’s business, it’s not mine, and I’ll let Conor announce it when he’s ready to.”

Win, lose, or draw McGregor is giving fans yet another reason to tune in come November 12th, as the Irishman will attempt to make promotion history when he challenges Alvarez for the 155-pound title while he is already the champion in the UFC’s featherweight division.

If McGregor is able to emerge victorious come fight night, he will be the first man in UFC history to hold two titles in different weight classes simultaneously:

“It’s always positive with me,” McGregor said. “So all I’ll say is tune in.”

Alvarez and McGregor will meet in the main event of UFC 205 for the lightweight championship live on pay-per-view (PPV), from the Madison Square Garden arena in New York City on November 12, 2016.
