The featherweight champion, Conor McGregor, will look to be the first UFC fighter to hold two belts in separate weight divisions when he moves up to lightweight to battle Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 197.
The two competitors put on quite the show, with McGregor naturally doing most of the talking at Wednesday's press conference.
McGregor (19-2) started off blasting dos Anjos (25-7):
