VIDEO: Conor McGregor jokes he could best Jesus: 'I'd still whoop his a--'

Preparing to square off with Jose Aldo at UFC 194 next week, Conor McGregor is looking to punch above any weight class.

In a recent interview with TMZ, the brash Irishman joked that no man alive could defeat him, and not even Jesus (yes, that Jesus) could best him inside the Octagon.

"I'll tell you what, there's not a man alive that can beat me," McGregor said. "But Jesus ain't alive is he? So I don't f--king know. Maybe he can come back from the dead and ... I don't know ... I'd still whoop his ass."

McGregor will have a chance to remove the "interim" tag from his featherweight title when he battles the true champion, Jose Aldo, in the long awaited main event of UFC 194 on Dec. 12.
