Why was I sure I was going to knock him out in the second round? I just know my skills. I worked so hard for this one and I always knew that one day I will be a UFC champion. Dana [White], it's showtime, it’s time to take the UFC to Spain.. Conor McGregor, if you still have some balls, I want you in Spain.
