Conor McGregor has revealed his desire to potentially start a whole new hybrid sport after his bout with Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

Speaking at the final press conference before the bout, a strangely civil affair, McGregor reiterated how confident he is of beating Mayweather, before talking about the potential birth of an MMA and boxing hybrid sport, intending to change the face of combat sports forever.

"I was thinking once I have conquered the octagon and the boxing ring, I might create my own hybrid of the two sports," 'The Notorious' said.

"Once I win this, I will relish the victory and then I will think who is next.

"I will fight anyone and I am still very young in my career.

"I have been continually climbing up the ranks and it's about levels in this game. The sky is most certainly the limit."

At first, McGregor believed he could knock Mayweather out inside four rounds, but after permission to use 8oz gloves was granted by the Nevada Athletic Commission, he filed that prediction down to just one round.

"I am very happy with how camp has gone, everything has been absolutely amazing and I thank my team.

"We are prepared for twelve three minute rounds of non-stop pace, I will come forward and put the pressure on and break this old man.

"He has made a big error with the 8oz gloves, I now have the decision to end it inside one.

"He messed up there, we usually fight in 4oz gloves and in eight, I will break through whatever is in front of me."

Many believe that McGregor, who will be making his professional boxing debut, is a whole lot of hot air, and when it comes down to the real business at hand, he will be no match for Mayweather.

However, it is those kinds of assumptions that are only fuelling the Irishman's desire to win even more.

"I've taken this very seriously, taken the rules very seriously and I will go out and perform.

"I will beat this man at his own game, I am a different level to him.

"When it's all said and done I will be sad, you should have all kept your mouth shut, you should have left me where I was, he is not even a quarter of the man I am."

Bold words from the McGregor, but then again, we expect nothing less.
