Conor McGregor has never been one to shy away from making bold predictions, and he is continuing that habit with regard to his upcoming Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) 194 title fight.

This time around, McGregor has made it clear that he believes he will be the victor come Dec. 12, indicating he will beat the long-time UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo handily.

McGregor said that he believes he will knockout Aldo during the fight taking place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, MMA Mania reported.

The bold Irishman took his prediction even further saying that after he defeats Aldo at the UFC 194 main event, he will then go on to face the winner of the upcoming lightweight title fight between Rafael Dos Anjos and Donald Cerrone and beat whoever ends up emerging victorious from that fight as well.

McGregor capped off his prediction by indicating that he will be a two division world champion in the UFC sooner rather than later.

McGregor is not the only one from his camp who has ideas about how the UFC 194 main event will go, as his coach, John Kavanagh, has also made his own predictions, MMA News reported.

According to Kavanagh, he can see the fight ending in one of two ways. He believes that McGregor will either win the fight within the first 60 seconds of the first round, or the bout may last up to the second round. Either way, he predicts that McGregor will come out victorious.

In related news, the winner of the UFC 194 main event will have more than just a title to stake their claim to. That's because the winner will also be the one joining Ronda Rousey on the cover of "UFC 2," Gamespot reported.

EA Sports, the game's publisher, has also indicated that if the UFC 194 main event ends up in a tie or if a last minute substitution takes place for an injured combatant, then they may choose to feature a different fighter.
