Conor McGregor ready to be 'immortalised' in New York

"No one has ever come close, no one has attempted it. My legacy (is that) I'll be immortalised after this."

Conor McGregor says he will be "immortalised" if he secures a second title belt at UFC 205 in New York this weekend.

Irishman McGregor will headline a pay-per-view event at New York's Madison Square Garden as he challenges Eddie Alvarez for the UFC lightweight title, attempting to make history by becoming the first man to hold two UFC belts simultaneously.
