We know that Conor McGregor's confidence high, but perhaps not that it reached this elevation.
Dana White told Jim Rome on his CBS radio show that the Irishman offered to bet $3 million with White and UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta that he would finish Chad Mendes early in Saturday's interim UFC featherweight title bout.
You want to know how confident this kid is?
I can't even believe I'm going to say this, but, he told Lorenzo and I the other day ‘I'll bet you $3 million I knock him out in the second round'.
It's wager which the two were unwilling to accept.
I like to bet, I don't know if I'm that willing to take that bet.
When I tell you how extremely confident this guy is in himself, it's fascinating.
He is a very unique, fascinating person to listen to. Fun to listen to, and fun to watch.
A second round knockout is actually a little bit of a climbdown from Conor in terms of a prediction. He claimed on ESPN last week that he would finish Mendes in four minutes.
