"I always make accurate predictions. I have predicted many contests. I have my entire career. I predict the future. For me, I have already predicted this contest. At four minutes of the first round he will be KO'ed. I feel that the power matched with the precision, he will not be able to take it. Four minutes he will be done.

I'm in a business where you must be confident. If you have any doubts they will come back and play against you. So I am supremely confident as well as I am confident in my work ethic. My approach to the game, my non-stop effort to get better as a martial artist. I don't feel that anyone else in the game is doing what I'm doing and moving the way I am moving.

It just comes from years and years of practice on the mat. I have had many fights inside the Octagon, outside the Octagon, in rings, on mats. I am an experienced veteran in the fight game. Through that and through a believe team and my ability I have just gained a bulletproof confidence that I cannot be stopped."

-Conor McGregor talks to ESPN's Sportscenter with his prediction for his UFC 189 bout with Jose Aldo (transcribed by MMAJunkie.com).

Penick's Analysis: McGregor has been nothing but confident since he came to the UFC, and to his credit he's backed almost everything up. If he does the same with this prediction it would be an impressive feat of prognostication on top of an incredible outcome of that fight. Now, he's still hoping the Aldo fight happens, which is still very much in question, but his unwavering confidence certainly makes believers of some. If he can pull off the win in this fashion, he'll make believers of all.
