Mendes: I’m going to whip McGregor’s @$$ next
Chad Mendes on Conor McGregor: ” He can sit there and watch. I am going to get in there and win and then I’m going whip that dude’s a– next.”
At 1:00 PM there is a Fan Q&A in Brazil with Conor McGregor. At about 2:30 PM Chad Mendez and Jose Aldo weigh in.
During the UFC 179 media scrum, Mendes says he plans to whip both.
“I think the major improvements in my game have really upped my confidence. I just feel so much more comfortable getting in the Octagon now…. There were big holes in my game the first time we fought, and there were areas that I wasn’t comfortable in.
“That makes it tough to be a champion, when you are not comfortable in all your areas. So I feel like I’ve closed those gaps, and it’s time to do it.”
“I’m definitely going to be in his face from the get go. This is a fight, this is war, and this is something that’s personal at this point. It’s not just about the title, it’s about redemption and payback. This is my time, it’s my time to be a king.”
“This is the only time someone’s got to fight Jose a second time. Guys come into that fight pretty intimidated. I have gotten in there, I have felt his speed, I have felt his power, I have felt his size, and I truly believe I can beat this guy.”
Mendes was then asked about Conor McGregor.
“It’s not frustrating that he is going to be here,” said Mendes. “It’s expected. The guy has a huge hype train. He is talking his way up to the top. He can sit there and watch. I am going to get in there and win and then I’m going whip that dude’s a– next.”
