Conor McGregor has fanned the flames ahead of his showdown with Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone at UFC 246, suggesting he could beat him even whilst ill.
The pair will face off on January 18 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in the headline bout of the event.
In an interview with ESPN's Ariel Helwani, McGregor explained his decision to fight Cerrone at welterweight rather than lightweight:
