The UFC’s most polarizing star was a guest on Wednesday’s edition of “America’s Pregame” on Fox Sports 1, and, as expected, he was in top form. Conor McGregor continued to lambast late-replacement opponent Chad Mendes, praised Hollywood icon Arnold Schwarzenegger and revealed how his infamous trash talk comes to be.
When the Irishman was asked about any disappointment that he’ll be going head-to-head against Mendes at UFC 189 instead of featherweight champion Jose Aldo due to the Brazilian’s rib injury, McGregor shrugged his shoulders, virtually brushing off the topic.
“It is what it is,” he said.
