WATCH: Conor McGregor calls reporter a “nutjob” after being asked if he was afraid of Jose Aldo

You don't often see the supremely likable Conor McGregor get wound up at press events.

The Notorious is seldom anything but affable and courteous to media members but one Brazilian reporter definitely rubbed him up the wrong way by asking whether or not the Irish fighter was afraid of UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo. McGregor responded with a snarl that we've not seen before and answers: "What? Afraid of Aldo? I fear no man. I've said this before. If you breathe oxygen, it's fair game. I will come and take you out. I fear nothing." And a few minutes later, the reporter leaves the media scrum and McGregor laughs, saying: "He's a nutjob, that guy." H/t to MMAFighting
