WATCH: Conor McGregor predicts the round in which he’ll beat Khabib Nurmagomedov

Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor has always had a knack for clairvoyance.

Perhaps the best example came with he faced off with Jose Aldo for the featherweight championship back in 2015.

After knocking out the Brazilian in 13 seconds, a video went viral that showed McGregor perfectly describing how the opening exchanges would go, months ahead of time.

At last night’s UFC 229 press conference, Mystic Mac was asked once more to predict how long it would take for him to beat his opponent Khabib Nurmagomedov.

“As long as it takes. I believe one. He has a glass jaw. The Chechens, my Chechen friends, told me that they have chicken jaws in Dagestan, and I believe them.”

For his part, Khabib didn’t seem even remotely fazed by McGregor’s trash talk, and seemed to be holding back laughter when McGregor started talking about Chechnya.

The fight is set to take place at UFC 229 on October 6, in Las Vegas.
