McGregor continued, 'It didn't happen so we left the stage and I thought "He's enjoying this. He's playing the game. He doesn't... this is no game here."
'I said to myself after the weigh-ins, "Tomorrow night there will be no bouncing around. We're going to be face to face and we will see then".'
'So, when we came face to face, I said to him, "Let's see who takes a back step now. Let's see who takes the first back step".'
'I marched forward and he took the first back step.
'That was the fight.'
McGregor landed a couple of big shots in the opening exchanges and fended off a Mendes take-down attempt.
He credits Mendes for landing 'a couple of big shots' but insists he was rarely troubled during the bout.
End-game arrived, for Mendes, in the final seconds of round two.
