So What Exactly Did Conor McGregor Say Off Camera?

What Conor McGregor said following his highly-anticipated final press conference regarding the upcoming Floyd Mayweather fight has been going viral.

It's like he's channeling Muhammad Ali with this level of inspirational and cleverly thought out words. I'm impressed.

He was speaking to The Mac Life Productions afterwards, which you can see below.

If you don't have time to watch the full video, don't worry. He said: "When it's all said and done, I've certainly raised the bar [for MMA fighters]. Forget that though - it's even for the average person.

"Four years ago, I fought at the HMV Forum, Kentish Town - I don't even know where that is from here - in front of 500 people. Four years ago.

"Look at tonight, this arena is full for a press conference. Never mind motivating for UFC fighters and raising that bar."

He continued: "Humans, people on their own journey can see that anything can be achieved and it can be achieved like that [snaps fingers] if you put your head down, you work, you believe in yourself, and speak with confidence.

"Whatever you want to do, you speak it loud and with no fear and, no matter what people say, it happens. That's something I can take with me. That inspires and motivates me right back."

The pair have taken part in press conferences in Los Angeles, California, Toronto, Canada then Brooklyn, New York, and they embarked on the last bit of media obligation ahead of fight week by heading over here to the U.K.

And following the disappointing event in New York, McGregor produced a typically brilliant performances as he continued to roast Floyd Mayweather while blasting Showtime executive and general manager Stephen Espinoza.

As well as Mayweather and Espinoza, the 40-year-old's 'juice head' body guards where also subject to a verbal assault.

What's more, while strutting the boxing ring, McGregor strolled past Mayweather and rubbed his head...

McGregor finished his monologue by hollering, "The bullshit is now over."
