Fighting words from The Notorious

We’re on the home stretch for UFC 189 now as Conor McGregor takes on Chad Mendes for the Interim Featherweight Title and a shot at Jose Aldo.

McGregor gave an open workout session yesterday and he looked in cracking shape ahead of the fight but the Dubliner also took the time to address those recent reports that he has to drop 27 pounds in order to make the weight for the fight against Mendes.

Take a look as The Notorious allays any concerns while talking with UFC ON FOX but that’s not all he had to say.

McGregor also chatted about his burgeoning friendship with The Terminator himself, Arnie is a big fan of his also as he told JOE, and also about a very particular Irish phrase that he has earmarked as his own catchphrase, should he ever crack Hollywood.
