Mendes stressed he was trying to be as nice as he could about McGregor in his comments today but it proved rather difficult for him.
'Tool' was apparently the most complimentary term he could summon up.
It’s going to feel so good to beat the crap out of Conor. Because the guy’s just a big tool. I’m trying to be nice here. I could definitely say a lot meaner things.
Mendes was defeated by Jose Aldo last October in Rio de Janeiro.
