‘Capitalise’.
That is the one word that has been driving UFC featherweight title contender Conor McGregor on, ever since he was slated to fight world champion Jose Aldo.
The Brazilian [injured ribs] is out of the picture now but an interim belt is still up for grabs and only Chad Mendes stands in The Notorious’ way.
In the latest UFC 189 Embedded episode, McGregor shows off his football skills, goes for a jog in the sweltering height [in many, many clothes] and does not bad-mouth Mendes once.
As an avid hunter, Mendes shows off his collection of mounted heads and claims he wants to add McGregor’s to his haul of kills.
Rory MacDonald and Robbie Lawler, meanwhile, continue to prepare for their co-main event title clash in their determined, understated ways.
Watch out for those chickens…
