Conor McGregor loves three things - Fighting, money and predictions.

The Notorious has a famous quote that is now replayed on highlight reels and promos every time he fights in which he roars "I don't just knock them out, I pick the round." And even more recently he's made a habit of predicting the minute that he gets the finish. He claimed that he would stop his last opponent Dennis Siver within two minutes but needed an extra four minutes to get the job done in January. That hasn't stopped him from doing the same this time around as, during an interview with ESPN this morning, the Dublin featherweight said "Four minutes into the first round he (Jose Aldo) will be KO'd." Aldo has never been knocked out with his only loss coming by way of submission ten years ago so McGregor will do well to back up his bold prediction. He'll get the chance to do so at UFC 189 in twelve days time when Aldo puts his 145lb crown on the line against the Irishman.
