VIDEO: Chad Mendes claims he’s going to embarrass Conor McGregor and destroy his life

You could cut the tension with a samurai sword

I’m number one so why try harder.

That was pretty much the message from Conor McGregor last night at the final pre-fight press conference ahead of Saturday night’s UFC 189 interim title fight.

The Irishman has upped his trash talking in the last few days, and last night Mendes decided to aim some verbal barbs of his own in the direction of the Notorious.

McGregor returned to his ‘twerp’ insult for Mendes, while the American claimed that he was going to ’embarrass’ the 26-year-old after Saturday night’s action in Las Vegas.

Mendes also addressed worries that McGregor’s reach advantage will make Saturday night’s contest an unfair fight.
