Conor McGregor brazenly predicts Jose Aldo beatdown as Gaeilge

Not quite an A1 but a good, solid C from Conor McGregor.

The Dubliner was in his element on the Dublin leg of the UFC World Tour today. McGregor answered questions on Jose Aldo, his opponent for the UFC featherweight belt, weather conditions in Las Vegas, Touchgate and a possible Croke Park bout. He was then asked a couple of questions in Irish and gave it a fair crack with his responses. He answered 'Conas atá tú?' with a steady 'Go maith'. Asked to expand on his hopes for the fight, McGregor declared.

'Tá mé chun buail é (Aldo) san cheann le mo chois!'

Roughly translated, I'm going to kick Aldo in the head.

He remarked, 'They mentioned the chance of rain in Dublin... there are a few roofers that could do with a job [roofing Croke Park].'
