| McGregor wins London. |
McGregor finally made his way to the ring at approximately 8:26 Irish time, after a one hour delay, and the clear chants of "Ole", and some boos rang around the SSE Arena in support of 'The Notorious' one. Sporting a similar blueish suit to the one warn in Toronto, McGregor would need a big showing tonight to recover from Mayweather's words last night.

McGregor began strutting behind Mayweather as he entered the ring, before the eventual stare down. The SSE Arena was absolutely rocking as both men began to trash talk, with Dana White separating the two. This one had more of a traditional press conference appearance, with a podium sandwiched between two tables. The crowd support for MMA star McGregor was noticeable from the get go, as fans chanted his name. Showtime Executive Stephen Espinoza was jeered as he took the podium, with chants such as "who are ya" showering out the American. UFC President Dana White was tasked with introducing McGregor for the final time on this tour, with the Dublin man addressing the crowd immediately. McGregor highlighted his rise to stardom, telling how he fought in London in front of 500 people, to quadrupling his net worth in "just half a fight".

McGregor then took a shot at CEO of Mayweather Promotions Leonard Ellerbe, telling him how himself and Floyd Sr. would be responsible for his clients downfall. Espinoza was also once more called a "weasel" before unleashing on Mayweather's "juice head turkeys" of bodyguards. Chants of "pay your taxes" rang true, before McGregor rubbed Mayweather's head, inviting him to an altercation. McGregor promised to "bounce" Mayweather's head off the canvas after he knocks out Floyd. The undefeated boxer then tore down the McGregor corner flags. Mayweather attempted to take Conor's mic away, before electing to leave his microphone in the reach of McGregor. Chants of "sit down, shut up" as Floyd once more reiterated how "the fans can't fight for you". Mayweather then referred to Dana as a "pimp" and Conor as his "hoe". Mayweather then asked Espinoza to point to the "easy work" but got no reaction from the Showtime boss. Mayweather then promised not to touch McGregor until "August 26th". McGregor then informed Floyd how he "flew to Vegas and you retired". Floyd then told how Showtime bought him "mansions and Bugatti's" asking Conor what the UFC bought him. The mic holder then asked someone to "call Nate Diaz" with Conor asking Floyd "how does he look now, his face is drooping to the left". Floyd then tried to get the crowd to sing happy birthday to McGregor, with the Dublin native inviting the crowd to sing "Fuck Floyd Mayweather" as they duly obliged.
