NEW YORK -- Irishman Conor McGregor made his Madison Square Garden debut Tuesday night with expected bravado.(The Irish) built this city. Now Im coming to claim whats ours, McGregor said in a press conference at the Theatre at Madison Square Garden, where UFC announced its UFC 205 event.McGregor aims to become the first fighter to hold two UFC belts simultaneously when the sport makes a splashy entrance into the last U.S. state to legalize mixed martial arts.The wildly popular brawler is fighting in the main event for Eddie Alvarezs lightweight belt -- one of three title fights on a card with several matches that could easily headline a different event. The UFC wants its Madison Square Garden event on Nov. 12 to top the promotions biggest cards, especially after UFC 200 in July was marred by doping violations and a lineup that reshuffled several times.Its an honor to be here, McGregor said. I cannot wait to perform. ... The Irish love New York and Im honored to be here.UFC officials met with reporters, some five months after state lawmakers ended a ban on professional MMA. The pay-per-view fight will be the first UFC event in New York state since UFC 7 in Buffalo on Sept. 8, 1995.It took longer that it shouldve, UFC President Dana White said.The stacked card also includes new welterweight champion Tyron Woodleys first title defense against Stephen Wonderboy Thompson, along with strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyks defense against fellow Pole Karolina Kowalkiewicz. Popular veteran fighters Donald Cowboy Cerrone, Miesha Tate, Frankie Edgar, Chris Weidman and Rashad Evans also are in the show.McGregor was joined at the press conference by Thompson, Jedrzejczyk, Kowalkiewicz, Cerrone, Edgar, Weidman and Alvarez.This is a dream come true, said Weidman, who is scheduled to fight Yoel Romero. Weidman lives and trains on Long Island.Ive been envisioning this for so long and were here right now. We got this fight in about six weeks and I cant wait to come down here and fight in front of all you guys.For the cards depth, McGregor is its main selling point. And he knows it.UFC was purchased by the WME-IMG talent agency from Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta in July for $4 billion, a fact that McGregor was quick to point out.$4.2 billion, McGregor said. $4.2 billion. Thats what Im worth to this company.McGregor (20-3) has become the UFCs biggest active star in the past two years with a series of gritty fights and a loquacious promotional style. Although he won the UFCs featherweight title in December with a 13-second knockout of Jose Aldo, his last two fights were lucrative welterweight bouts against Nate Diaz, with McGregor avenging his loss to Diaz in August. He was originally scheduled to headline UFC 200 in Las Vegas against Diaz, but the bout was bumped when McGregor bickered with the UFC over money and promotional obligations.Following UFC 202, the Nevada Athletic Commission announced McGregor was on a six month injury suspension. During the press conference, though, McGregor claimed he was completely healthy.That fight was five weeks ago, McGregor said. I came out of that fight fresher than (when) I went in. Look at Nates face. Nate will never look the same. I came out brand new. I had a bruised foot.McGregor gets to keep his 145-pound title when he takes on Alvarez (28-4), who won the 155-pound belt in July with a first-round stoppage of Rafael Dos Anjos. McGregor still hasnt defended the featherweight belt.White said UFC would figure that out when it happens, when asked whether the promotion would allow McGregor to hold the 145-pound and 155-pound titles at the same time.McGregor, naturally, had his views on the subject.Im going to wrap one on one shoulder and wrap the other one on the other shoulder, McGregor said. Itll take an army to come take those belts off me.Aldo beat Edgar in July to win an interim featherweight title, and the Brazilian is unlikely to be happy about the UFCs latest decision. White had previously indicated that McGregor would need to defend his belt against Aldo soon.Unbeaten lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov is also unhappy about McGregor taking his place in line to fight Alvarez. The tough Russian fighter tweeted at Alvarez and McGregor that your time will come to get my hands on you. During the press conference, White announced Nurmagomedov will fight Michael Johnson on the card.UFC 205 is a chance for the promotion to showcase a megacard in a way it failed to do earlier this year in Las Vegas when McGregor was pulled from UFC 200. The replacement main event was also canceled when Jon Jones was notified of a potential doping violation the week of the fight, disqualifying him from his bout with Daniel Cormier. After UFC 200, U.S. anti-doping officials also found Brock Lesnar, the former WWE star, had violated the UFCs drug policy at the event.When we finally got New York done and we were coming into Madison Square Garden, I wanted to bring the best card possible, White said. This is the biggest card weve ever done.This is the best all-around fight card in UFC history.Reilly Smith Golden Knights Jersey . -- Cam Newton pranced into the end zone, placed his hands over his chest and did his familiar Superman pose. Alex Tuch Golden Knights Jersey . -- Eastern Kentucky thrives off creating havoc for others. http://www.goldenknightssale.com/authentic-brandon-pirri-golden-knights-jersey/ . P.A.

Custom Vegas Golden Knights Jerseys . Fernandez, coached in Toronto by former two-time Olympic silver medallist Brian Orser, scored 267.11 points and is the first champion to successfully defend since Russias Evgeny Plushenko in 2005 and 2006. Paul Stastny Golden Knights Jersey . -- Claudio Bieler hadnt scored since early September, and not from the run of play since mid-July.FORT WORTH, Texas -- TCU tailback Kyle Hicks broke into the open, and really had a clear path to the end zone after 315-pound tackle Joseph Noteboom knocked a defensive back out of the way about 25 yards downfield.The Horned Frogs quickly rebounded from a loss that knocked them out of the Top 25, beating Iowa State 41-20 on Saturday in the first game that counted into the Big 12 standings.Hicks ran for 117 yards, including untouched on that 64-yard TD run behind the big left tackle. That put TCU up 10-0 in the first quarter, a week after losing in double overtime at home to Arkansas.Glad to have Noteboom running alongside of me. ... He kept running until he ran into somebody, said Hicks, who later caught a 25-yard touchdown from Kenny Hill.Unreal. He can go, Hill said, describing Hicks.Hicks was wide open in the end zone for the TD catch on the opening drive of the second half for a 31-7 lead.Iowa State, with first-year coach Matt Campbell , is 0-3 for the first time since 1997. But it was a step forward after a 42-3 loss a week earlier at No. 13 Iowa, which was upset at home Saturday by five-time defending FCS national champion North Dakota State.We were a lot more detailed in terms of effort, commitment, commitment to each other and it was fun to watch our guys, Campbell said. I saw growth.THE TAKEAWAYIOWA ST.: The Cyclones, who clearly werent ready for Big 12 competition, are still working to figure out their quarterback situation. As expected, junior Joel Lanning (12-21 passing for 127 yards) and former Georgia transfer Jacob Park (7-15 for 90 yards) both played.Campbell said he believes both quarterbacks can help Iowa State.Well just keep manufacturing and working. I think thats a great situation when you have two guys you really believe you can have success with, Campbell said. Both guys like each other, both guys are helping each other on the sidelines.Lanning did have two scoring runs, including an impressive 8-yard TD run when he kept driving his feet and got a push from running back Mitchell Harger after initially being stacked up short of the end zone.TCU: While the Frogs got the lopsided victory to start Big 122 play, the competition for the next conference game will be much tougher when No.dddddddddddd 14 Oklahoma visits in two weeks. Coach Gary Patterson was far from satisfied with what he perceived as a lack of emotion, especially coming off the loss the previous week.Its a win, simple as that, Patterson said. Not happy ... but its a win.Hill, who had slow starts and strong finishes his first two starts, threw for 219 yards with a touchdown while running for 28 yards and another score while playing only three quarters. The defense had five sacks, matching their total from the first two games combined.ALL-PURPOSE HURTFrogs receiver and returner KaVontae Turpin sustained an apparent left leg injury and had to be helped off the field early in the third quarter. He got hurt the play before Hicks TD catch, though Patterson had no update after the game.Turpin entered the game the national leader with 236 all-purpose yards per game, but had only two catches for 8 yards and one kickoff return for 28 yards.POLL IMPLICATIONSTCU dropped from 15th in the AP Top 25 to the first team in others receiving votes after the Arkansas loss. Depending on what happens in the bottom part of the poll, the Frogs could move back into the poll Sunday.NUMBERS GAMEAllen Lazard extended his Iowa State record for consecutive games with a reception to 26 games. But he was held to only one catch for 8 yards after entering the game as the Big 12 leader with 120 yards receiving a game and the first Cyclones player since 2003 with consecutive 100-yard receiving games. ... Iowa States Mike Warren had 23 carries for 95 yards. ... Since the start of the 2014 season, TCU is 25-4 overall and 16-3 in Big 12 play -- both marks the best in the league over that span.UP NEXTIOWA ST: Another pre-noon kickoff for the Cyclones next Saturday when they go home to play San Jose State in their last non-conference game.TCU: The Horned Frogs close out their non-conference schedule Friday night, about 40 miles away at former Southwest Conference foe SMU.
