Irish MMA megastar Conor McGregor recently gave his honest thoughts on the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson match this November. True to the entertaining nature of 'The Notorious', his take was very colorful.
In an appearance in a livestream for sports betting brand DuelBits, a streamer asked McGregor about his thoughts on the Paul-Tyson boxing match. The Irish superstar started with a segue to Tyson's cannabis brand which he calls "Tyson Kush."
McGregor then said:
"Don't give a b*llocks. They're wearing 14-oz gloves. It's two-minute rounds, is it? It's two-minute rounds? Who gives a b*llocks. I hope he [Tyson] rattles that little dope [Paul]. No one gives a f*ck about him. How is that even in the f*cking Dallas Stadium? What's going on?"

Conor McGregor gives his honest take on UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria
In the same stream with DuelBits, Conor McGregor was asked what would happen if he faced current UFC featherweight champ Ilia 'El Matador' Topuria.
As expected, McGregor didn't pull any punches, saying (8:07-8:35):
"How do you think you would beat Ilia [Topuria]?...I'd grab him by the scruff of the chest and slap that little nose off him, yeah. Little ding dong of a thing he is...You little fool, I'll cave your head in. You little short a** tick, I'll box your jaw in on site."
The prospect of McGregor coming back down to featherweight (145 pounds) is highly unlikely as he hasn't fought in the division in nearly a decade; let alone fight the Spanish-Georgian for the title. But we've seen crazier things. He did talk his way into fighting arguably the greatest boxer of this generation, Floyd Mayweather Jr, despite not having any pro boxing record.
