Conor McGregor's recent interview with Main Event Australia has sparked a lot of interest and debate. In it, he made some bold statements that have left many people talking. McGregor declared himself a greater fighter than Australia's Alexander Volkanovski, and even predicted the outcome of Origin III, all while discussing his upcoming fight with Max Holloway at UFC 329.
McGregor's Confidence
McGregor's confidence is not just about his fighting skills. He believes that a win over Holloway will solidify his status as the greatest featherweight in the history of the sport. He argues that Volkanovski, who has beaten Holloway three times, is not on his level. McGregor's confidence is not without reason. He has had some excellent performances in the welterweight division and feels good at that weight.
McGregor's Views on Australian Sports
McGregor also took aim at the West Australian Combat Sports Commission, who declined BKFC's application for a bareknuckle boxing event in Perth. He called their decision 'weak as piss' and expressed frustration at the lack of support for bareknuckle fighting in Australia. McGregor's views on Australian sports are not limited to combat sports. He also discussed his cousin, Pat Richards, a rugby league player for the Wests Tigers.
McGregor's Humour and Humility
Despite his confidence and bold statements, McGregor also displayed a sense of humor and humility. He admitted that an AFL jersey with his name on it, presented to him by Jono Brown, never made it to him. He also expressed appreciation for the opportunity to visit The Black Forge Inn and meet Liam, the staffer who presented the jersey.
McGregor's Preparation
McGregor's preparation for the fight with Holloway has been meticulous. He and his team flew out to Orange County, California, to acclimatize to the time and weather. They finished the last quarter of the camp there and are now in Las Vegas, where everything is going well. McGregor is confident that his preparation will lead to a massive upset win.
Conclusion
McGregor's interview has left a lasting impression on fans and critics alike. His confidence, humor, and humility have all contributed to a fascinating and engaging conversation. As he prepares for his comeback at UFC 329, McGregor is ready to prove himself as a master of martial arts and a force to be reckoned with in the world of mixed martial arts.
