"People are going to want to tune into this fight because they're going to want to watch me destroy Conor. They want to see me crush your face. People hate your mouth... I've been preparing for Conor McGregor since the first time I saw this dude fight in the UFC. I knew he was going to talk his way to the top. He beat every person they put in front of him. It's time for me to get in there and do what I've trained for my entire life, and that's become the champion."

-Chad Mendes talks about his UFC 189 main event bout with Conor McGregor during a media conference call for the bout on Wednesday (via UFC.com).

Penick's Analysis: There may be some portion of the fanbase pulling for Mendes to "crush" McGregor's face, and there are those who are not into McGregor's form of trash talking. Still, many have been taken in by McGregor's mouth, and will still want to see the Aldo fight. Given the Irish contingent who will be in Las Vegas next week, it's going to make for a very unique atmosphere in the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
