‘I don’t just knock them out, I pick the round’
It’s one of Conor McGregor’s most famous quotes – but these iconic words have taken on a life of their own.
The Irishman has become known for making predictions and then seeing them come true.
From being a young fighter saying he would one day become UFC champion to saying he’d knock Aldo out in the first round with his left hand, he’s always bang on the money.
He even tried to bet Dana White $3million that he would knock Chad Mendes out in the second round such was his conviction – here’s a video of his biggest and boldest predictions.
But even one of Mystic Mac’s sparring partners Tom Egan is a little scared of just how accurate they are.
“It truly is amazing,” Egan, the man who inspired McGregor to start training, told MMA Underground.
“It’s up there if not a little more precise than the things that Muhammed Ali would have said.
“Conor has literally been precise. It’s kind of scary. But it’s not that Conor has got these special powers, we all can really do what he’s doing – he just has the ability to realise it.
“It’s very inspiring for myself or anyone. If you’re an individual and you look at Conor and look at his story and look at his road, you can do that as well – you just have to believe in it.
“It was truly unbelievable to watch him say these things and then make it happen.”
