Im a f---ing pimp.McGregor (20-3), who is looking to become the first UFC fighter to hold titles in two weight divisions simultaneously when he faces lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez (28-4) on Saturday, was his usual theatrical self in a wild, expletive-filled news conference.The Irish star briefly stole Alvarezs 155-pound belt and needed to be restrained by security after he picked up Alvarezs chair, raised it over his head and threatened to use it as a weapon during a chaotic sequence.McGregor was fined $150,000 for throwing water bottles at Nate Diaz?in August during the UFC 202 news conference, one he also was tardy to. He had fun with the moment Thursday, saying, I wonder how much a chair wouldve cost me?Alvarez, meanwhile, was visibly upset Thursday, and he walked off the dais five minutes in after delivering an angry statement.I dont even have an opponent, he said. Ill see you guys tomorrow. When he comes, you give me a call.After his arrival, McGregor said, Sorry Im late, I just dont give a f---. Asked moments later about where he was, he said, I operate on my time, I operate on my own time. And Im running early on my time.UFC president Dana White wasnt worried about the fighters actions and said McGregor wouldnt be fined.No, it doesnt piss me off, White said. This is fighting, man -- a wacky, crazy, crazy business. Im in such a good mood for this event. It is what it is.McGregor, dressed in a white mink coat, predicted a first-round knockout of Alvarez, saying, I predict I rearrange his face. Hes too easily hit. But the 145-pound champion wouldnt budge when asked to clarify rumors he will make a special announcement after Saturdays fight regarding his intention to take time off in 2017.Dont worry about it. Just buy that pay-per-view twice, McGregor said. Im only warming up, Im only warming up. Ill take all them damn belts you have.McGregor enters Saturdays bout on a short turnaround having gone five hard rounds with Diaz less than three months ago. He downplayed the lingering effects of a leg injury that left him limping after the Diaz fight.Im fresh, ready to go, McGregor said. I look forward to [Saturday]. Im going to shut this man up.Saturdays card marks the UFCs debut in New York City after a bill was passed in March that lifted a ban on professional mixed martial arts in the state that dated back to 1997.

FORT WORTH, Texas -- Jesse Ertz and Kansas State rushed to the end of coach Bill Snyders 25th regular season, and to another bowl game.Ertz ran for a career-high 170 yards with a touchdown and Justin Silmon had 133 yards rushing with two touchdowns as the Wildcats won 30-6 at TCU on a drizzly Saturday.We just did what we do. I dont think there was any secret or anything new we threw at them, said Ertz, the junior quarterback who also had an 83-yard scoring pass. Im just looking to go 9-4 and finish out strong.Coach Bill Snyder got his 201st victory in 25 seasons with the Wildcats (8-4, 6-3 Big 12), who next will play in their 20th bowl game -- the 19th under Snyder. Kansas State appears headed to the Houston Bowl to play an SEC team after winning five of its last six games.To finish it out strong ... get that eighth win, it was very important for us, Silmon said.Kansas State ran for 336 yards, its sixth consecutive 200-yard game on the ground. The Wildcats have 17 rushing TDs their past four games.TCU (6-6, 4-5) will play in its 14th bowl with Gary Patterson, even after finishing the regular season without a winning record for only the third time in the coachs 16 full seasons and being held without a touchdown in a game for the first time since 2006.Really across the board we got thrown around by everybody, Patterson said. Weve got to grow up on offense. Until they do that, we wont win many games against good people.The Wildcats went ahead for good when Ertz broke free for a 32-yard TD run in the second quarter to make it 10-3.Right after halftime, Ertz threw a quick slant to Byron Pringle, who caught the ball near Kansas States 30 and took off sprinting down the middle of the field on the 83-yard catch-and-run score. He escaped a defender diving at his ankles before going the final 20 yards.Simlon had both of his TDs after halftime, including a 5-yard score when he avoided two tacklers in the backfield and then bulled through another defender.I think maybe the second half might have as been as good a half as we have played, Snyder saaid.dddddddddddd Defensively, we played well across the board throughout the ball game.THE TAKEAWAYKansas St.: With Ertz effectively leading the way, the Wildcats continue to pound teams with their running game. Ertz has three 100-yard games and 99 in another in the last six games. Snyder said the Wildcats have gotten better overall each game.TCU: Where has that fast-paced, high-scoring offense gone? TCU hadnt been held without a touchdown in a decade, since a 12-3 home win over Texas Tech in 2006.
