McGregor is the defending UFC featherweight champion and intends to rip the lightweight belt from the grasp of Philadelphia powerhouse Alvarez.

It is UFC’s first event in New York City and McGregor has promised to live up to his nickname The Notorious, saying he will “butcher” his opponent in the headline event.

McGregor said: “I’m too clean. I’m too smooth and devastating. I can hit you from any angle. I’m confident. I hope he brings it. I’ll butcher him."

SunSport revealed how Alvarez has prepared for the big fight by using a punchbag with McGregor’s face plastered across it.

He added: “What I see in the Octagon is a scrawny, skinny Irishman who’s about to get a beat down.

“His talk is him trying to convince himself. No one has done it to me, ever. You’re going to hear the words ‘And Still’ on Saturday night.”
