Former UFC champion Conor McGregor has granted ESPN’s Ariel Helwani a rare sit down interview in the lead-up to his clash with Donald Cerrone at UFC 246. On Friday ESPN released a teaser of that forthcoming interview, showing McGregor explain why he picked Cerrone as an opponent.
“Well I said I’d fight him right?” revealed McGregor. “I mean, me and Donald have a history, a long history, well not a long history, but we’ve had a history. It’s an exciting bout. It’s a fan friendly bout. It’s a fight that excites me and it’s a fight that I said I would take.
