Conor McGregor isnt just promising a win at UFC 205, hes promising to put an end to Eddie Alvarezs career. The reigning featherweight champion erupted during a media conference call on Thursday while talking about Alvarez and how he sees this fight playing out. Alvarez has been an incredibly durable fighter throughout his entire career, only succumbing to strikes one time in his entire career and that happened when he was still competing as a welterweight in his 11th professional fight. McGregor is emphatically predicting that hell add another knockout loss to Alvarezs resume when they finally step into the Octagon on Nov. 12 in New York. "Hes claiming its an easier contest. I look forward to when the eyes shift, when the eyes roll, and the electric shock goes through his whole body and he goes to his knees and then he comes up and hes in survival mode and that panic sets through his whole body, his whole face, thats something that I look forward to. I will punish him for that, for those words that hes saying. Im going to retire him on this night," McGregor said. "Hes been through a hell of lot of wars. Hes been dropped continuously. I can see it in him. You can see the effects of war on his face and respect to him, hes a fighter. Nothing but respect, but this will be it for you. Youre going to be badly, badly hurt Eddie, and I mean that. Its over for you. You will not fight again after this. Youll not look the same. Youll not think the same and thats it." McGregor continuously prodded at Alvarez during the call, talking about all the different ways hes going to hurt the current lightweight champion when they finally meet. He even went as far as invoking Alvarezs wife and children when speaking about the numerous ways he plans to mangle the Philadelphia native and send him packing back home with a long list of injuries and no title to comfort him when its over. "Im going to toy with this man and Im going really, truly rearrange his facial structure. His wife and kids wont ever recognize him. His friends, the people that he knows will know that hes not the same after this contest. Hes going to be in a shock when he sees that," McGregor said. Im going to go out and paint many, many pictures in this contest, put on a showcase, toy with this man and end it all. End his whole career. Retire him. Its over for him. He should be done anyway. Hes taken too much damage. This will be his last amount of damage that hell be able to take. Youre never, ever, ever going to be the same. Ever again in your life. Your kids after this fight are going to beg you daddy, please dont go again." When the fight was first announced and introduced at the UFC 205 press conference, McGregor predicted that he would finish Alvarez inside one round. Considering the amount of damage hes claiming to dish out when they actually fight, it might sound like McGregor is planning on this matchup going past the first five minutes, but thats not the case. McGregor doubled down on his earlier prediction and says that Alvarez will be lucky to survive the first round, but hes ready for anything that may unfold. "I believe first round. I know hes durable, I dont believe hes been hit by anybody like me," McGregor said. "I dont believe he will survive. If he does survive and be in that survival mode, then Im going to toy with him, Im going to rearrange his face for his words that hes speaking right now. I still cant see him lasting one round." For his part, Alvarezs response to McGregor saying that this will be his last fight was fairly simple and to the point. "Youre so full of (expletive)," Alvarez said.
