Eddie Alvarez waited to feel the magnitude of the moment as he stood eye-to-eye with Conor McGregor on a Madison Square Garden stage.
Hyping the biggest fight of his career, Alvarez wondered if nervousness would kick in as he stared down McGregor.
Or maybe anger. An adrenaline rush, something, that would sound the emotional bell inside his body that he shared space with one of the biggest names in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Trash talk? Perhaps, but the 32-year-old Alvarez insisted he had a detached demeanor because he viewed McGregor as just another victim on his roll call of champions that he will beat down for a win.
His most pressure-packed fight yet - the one that could help launch Alvarez into McGregor-type paydays - is just days away.
Alvarez makes his first UFC lightweight title defense against McGregor on Saturday night at MSG in the promotion's return to New York for the first time since the state lifted its ban on mixed martial arts earlier this year.
Alvarez might make history in New York, but he made his name in Philly fighting on streets, outside bars, even playgrounds, for any reason years before he became a settled family man and forged his way into the MMA cage.
