UFC 246: Chad Johnson asks Conor McGregor for betting advice at Las Vegas press conference
Conor McGregor is confident about defeating Donald Cerrone at the non-title main event of UFC 246. He also offered some betting advice for Chad Johnson.

Both the fights were massive and the Irish faced a crushing defeat in both the events. However, it has not shattered Conor McGregor’s confidence a bit. The Irish recently advised Chad Johnson not to bet his money on Donald Cerrone.
