Conor McGregor has never been shy about his self-confidence, but some would say that on several occasions, the Irishman’s reassurance has veered toward arrogance. One such occasion was when The Notorious compared himself to Jesus Christ.
McGregor was scheduled to face then-lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos, and as part of the build-up to their fight at UFC 197, they attended a press conference.
During the press conference, Dos Anjos was briefed that The Notorious had previously claimed to be able to defeat Jesus Christ in a fight inside the Octagon.
Brazilian response:
“I am just one tool in the hands of Jesus and on March 5th he will see, he will feel what one tool in the hands of Jesus can do to him.”
Conor McGregor replied with the following:
“Jesus and I are wonderful. I am calm with all gods. Gods recognize gods.”

Conor McGregor and Rafael dos Anjos did not meet inside the Octagon, as the Brazilian suffered a foot injury that forced him to withdraw from the match.
But the pair still harbor bad feelings for each other, as they were involved in an incident backstage at UFC 264 when they crossed paths.
Conor McGregor shares Michael Chandler’s bizarre predictions
Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler were announced as coaches for Season 31 of The Ultimate Fighter earlier this year. The show will air from May 30 to August 15, after which the couple is expected to have a fight inside the octagon.
However, the delay in the proceedings and the lack of an official announcement caused fans to worry. Speculation began as to whether the match would take place, but McGregor appeared to have hinted at a possible date.
The Irishman took to Twitter to announce that he was going to torture Chandler in the Octagon. He followed that up by tweeting a Santa Claus emoji, which could mean he’s coming back in December.
Conor McGregor wrote:
“I will take him to the third and torture him.”
See the tweets below:
McGregor was removed from USADA’s drug-testing pool in July 2021 after his fight with Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. The Notorious suffered a brutal broken leg and had to spend over a year in recovery.
The Irishman has not yet entered the USADA testing pool, and according to the agency, he will need to be in the pool for at least six months before he is eligible to fight.
