Conor McGregor’s sensational 13-second knockout of Jose Aldo had been visualised time and again explained the Irishman who became a record-breaking UFC featherweight champion.
And the 27-year-old then pledged that he will “bring Floyd Mayweather numbers” to the UFC as her moves forward. “Im just warming up,” added the new champion.
McGregor’s victory brought a 10.1 million dollar record gate for a UFC event at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, with the event through pay per view tracking potentially record numbers – the record is 1.5 million buys – said UFC spokesman Dave Sholler.
The gate for Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao in May this year was a staggering $72 million but McGregor said he would get there. Who can doubt the young Irish fighter – who calls himself Mystic Mac – having predicted he would knock out the Brazilian in the first round?
?If you can see it hear and you have the courage to speak it, it will happen,? McGregor said.
?If you become vocal with it, you create the law of attraction. … I said one round.?
“I?m catching up to Mayweather-Pacquiao?those old m—– f——ers are 40?I?m bringing these big numbers at (the age of) 27.”
