UFC 189 media scrum videos featuring Conor McGregor and Chad Mendes

Conor McGregor on his daunting weight cut:

"I'm a professional in this business. I don't mess around here. I take this game pretty seriously. I'm on point. My weight is smooth as... Don't believe everything you hear."

Smooth as...?

Chad Mendes on his short-notice call up:

"I'm feeling damn good right now. I'm the type of guy, I over-train pretty damn quick. Usually within three-to-four weeks in training camp, I've probably peaked out."

Two days and counting!
