Quotes from the fighters
Conor McGregor: "I feel great, I feel absolutely amazing. The work has been exceptional; no corners cut, you know, no flash. We’ve been quiet this camp, and we’ve been at work, so, that’s confidence. If there’s a lack of confidence, you need to share things to get this ego boost. We don’t need it. We’ll do it on the night. I’m excited by it. I’m excited by my team and my country."
Max Holloway: "Whatever gets him to the octagon Saturday night, keep telling yourself that. Just please show up Saturday night. Conor got the gift of gab, and he loves talking. Maybe he's talking to get himself ready. I support it 100 per cent. Me, Max 'Blessed' Holloway, supports this message. Keep talking. I can't wait to see you come Saturday night. Him saying I'm not a different fighter and blah, blah, blah. It is what it is. Keep telling yourself whatever you've got to tell yourself. I just need him to come and show up July 11, and get in that octagon. Then we can find out if he's right or wrong."
