McGregor: I will stop Siver inside two minutes
Conor McGregor: “I feel I will stop Dennis Siver inside two minutes. I’ve ran through some scenarios, I cannot see him escaping the first two minutes.”
When Connor McGregor predicted that he would finish Dustin Poirier inside the first round, not many believed he would. Then he did. For his next fight, McGregor has made an even bolder prediction and although it’s a tough task, less will likely doubt his ability to do it:
“It’s exactly as I said it was going to be,” McGregor said on Saturday’s UFC 182 pay-per-view. “I said football stadiums. I said world titles. This is what I said and this is what is happening. It’s a beautiful thing when you have the ability to predict the future, and that is what I feel I have.
“So January 18th, I feel I will stop Dennis Siver inside two minutes. I’ve ran through some scenarios, I cannot see him escaping the first two minutes. He is a seasoned veteran, he is a kickboxing expert, a taekwondo expert, he is my most experienced competitor that I will ever have faced. But I feel that under two minutes it will take me to dispatch him, and again it will make way for the football stadium in Ireland.”
