CONOR MCGREGOR spoke to Conan O’Brien live from Vegas about a number of topics.

From how he’s going to ‘dismantle’ Floyd Mayweather, to how he expects to knock him out in the first round but is publicly saying Mayweather will last four rounds because he wants to show some humility.

However it wasn’t all fight talk. Conan sent over some shorts for Conor to wear for the fight. Maybe he has money on Mayweather, because it looks like he wants him to hit Conor below the belt.

McGregor flat out refused to try on, throwing them behind him and laughing “Hell no!”

Conan asked if Conor had studied Mayweather’s performance on Dancing With The Stars to prepare for the fight.

Conor said he didn’t manage to check it out but added “I doubt he was any good though.” Conan then went on to tell McGregor that he has the support of Justin Bieber who believes that Mayweather will not be able to knock McGregor out.

McGregor said “Just look at the statistics, Floyd hasn’t knocked anyone out in 20+ years. There ya go. Justin’s on the ball with that one.”

Then the conversation turned to Conor’s new son, Conor Jr.

Conan shared his own experience of becoming a dad:

Here’s the question I have for you – I have two children. When the first was born I couldn’t speak for months afterwards, I was so tired and discombobulated. Is this gonna distract you at all from the fight? The birth of your son, Conor Jr?

McGregor went on to thank his girlfriend, Dee Devlin.

I have a beautiful – my beautiful girlfriend Dee has been amazing and we’ve been a unit with the birth of our son and it’s honestly been seamless. I was a little bit worried early on to see… A lot of people when they enter a fight camp they have to move away for 8-10 weeks from the family.

I was wondering, maybe I’d have to be one of those people and have to do that but my son and my girlfriend Dee have been with me. We’ve been in our home here in Las Vegas and it’s been seamless. So I’m very happy with it, I’ve got to bring my son along for this historic event and I’m very, very proud of that. Looking forward to going in and making my son proud on August 26th.

Another part of the interview covered how he named a boat that he bought for his father ’188′, after the amount of Euros he collected each week on social welfare. You can watch the interview here.
