Full blast

You’ve got to feel for the poor bastard who was sitting behind him.

Conor McGregor was in the crowd for UFC 179 to see the Jose Aldo survive 25 minutes of hell at the hands of Chad Mendes in Brazil. The UFC filmed the Notorious’ reactions to one of the best fights of 2014 and by the looks of it, he enjoyed it immensely.

There is one very interesting line from McGregor towards the end of the clip, in which he reveals his respect for both fighters.

“I respect both men. They put it all on the line, they went in, they traded gloves. May the best man win.”

McGregor then went on to psychologically torture Aldo on the UFC 189 World Tour and proclaim on live TV that he could “rest his balls” on Mendes forehead.
