We’re used to Conor McGregor talking a big game before his fights, but there’s something about the words coming out of his mouth in the build-up to UFC 264 that just don’t feel the same. Perhaps that hasn’t been more evident this week than in his interview with ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, which was released Thursday. McGregor sounded desperate, his words played out, like he’s trying to talk himself into believing that he’s still a 2015/2016 version of himself, which feels like ages ago heading into Saturday night’s highly anticipated trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier with their series tied at one knockout apiece
