MAKING BOLD PREDICTIONS is one of the things that has made Conor McGregor such a unique and entertaining athlete.
McGregor has never been reluctant to forecast the future and, in the majority of cases so far, the UFC interim featherweight champion has been right.
That’s backed up in a video released yesterday, which features footage of McGregor telling the world of his intentions from as far back as 2008.
“My name is Conor McGregor and I live in Lucan. I’m an up-and-coming fighter and, without a doubt, you will see me in the UFC in the near future.”
The video also features McGregor predicting the outcome of his fights against Diego Brandao, Dustin Poirier and Chad Mendes, as well as expressing his belief that Jose Aldo would pull out of the fight if the pair were ever scheduled to meet.
McGregor even told Mendes that he “can’t even pass guard” — something which ultimately lost the fight for the American in the second round of their UFC 189 main event last month in Las Vegas.
“You can call me Mystic Mac because I predict these things.”
Haha brilliant video. People can say what they want about the man but he is on the ball in nearly all his predictions. He might not be everyone everyone’s cup of tea but he is doing wonders for Ireland in America. While making all that mula
Oi preeedic deese tings.
the only thing more accurate than his predictions are his strikes
Ha! great
Love him or hate him, he’s an Irish superstar already and is putting Ireland on the map!
Most compelling sportsman to come out of this country since a certain Corkman ( here come the red thumbs !!) like most true originals he’ll be a victim of the marmite syndrome for a while – slowly but sure tho he is becoming the most talked about sports star this country has seen in decades ( granted its a niche sport)
Brilliant piece.. Well done to all associated .. Just can’t get enough of this lad.. Makes me proud to be Irish more importantly a Dub. Where the fck is Aldo? Can’t wait
