Video: Conor McGregor: Make no mistake about it, I am the headline here

Being here is a beautiful thing, this is what I envisioned. Now my dreams are a reality, but make no mistake of who the headline is here. I am the headline here. I am the one bringing in the numbers and we can sugar coat it all we want, but whether the Americans want me to see me whip ass or see me get my ass whupped they are tuning in.

About UFC 178
When UFC 178 lands in Las Vegas this week, the lineup will feature one of the best cards from top to bottom for all of 2014. The flyweight title is up for grabs in the main event as Demetrious Johnson looks for the fifth successful defense of his 125-pound title as he takes on top 10 fighter Chris Cariaso — but that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone is back in action as well at UFC 178, welcoming in UFC newcomer Eddie Alvarez, who brings with him one of the nastiest reputations for any fighter in the lightweight division. Irish bad boy Conor McGregor also looks to conquer United States soil once again when he gets the biggest test of his UFC career in No. 5 ranked Dustin Poirier.
