The Notorious has left Dublin for Las Vegas with just three weeks until he finally faces off against Jose Aldo at UFC 194 on December 12th.
UFC 194 is expected to be one of the highest-grossing events in 2015, according to FOX Sports. But if you ask Conor McGregor, that will all be because of him.
UFC 194 is expected to generate unprecedented revenue in both ticket sales and pay-per-view buys and, McGregor was more than happy to point out that he was the prime reason for the potential windfall.
“I am not a company man. I am the company”.
The former UFC lightweight champion was asked in a Monday Q&A session who he was backing in the long-awaited Aldo-McGregor bout. UFC star Conor McGregor will be fighting Jose Aldo next month and in his down time from training for the big day, he dropped $450K on two new cars.
As braggadocios as Conor McGregor has been, Jose Aldo for his part hasn’t exactly been lacking for confidence, either. But equally as prolific as his title defenses are his penchant to withdraw from them due to injury.
“In all honesty, I just don’t think with all those things combined, he can make it to the contest”.

“I can see it being over late in the first round or early in the second, Conor will win by KO or TKO”.
