Conor McGregor has set Dana White straight that Ireland and the UK are not the same thing.

The pair were appearing on UFC tonight in Boston .

The conversation on the TV show went as follows:

White: "Well, personally I think this is the biggest fight of the year.

"This is a fight that the world will be watching.

"Now when you have a fight where countries, literally countries care about the fight, it’s a big deal.

"All of Brazil will be watching him defend his title [points to Jose Aldo], all of the UK will be watching [points to Conor McGregor]. You’ll have Canada, United States, Australia…

McGregor: "Ireland will be watching."

White: "Ireland, Ireland. I thought that was the same thing, apparently not."

McGregor: "It is most certainly not."

Conor McGregor ordered Jose Aldo to call him daddy and to sit on his lap.

The pair were speaking on Fox Sport’s Fight Words as part of their world championship tour.

'Notorious' seems to be riling the UFC champion ahead of their July 11th title fight.

The 26-year-old said: "I am not angry. It is cold, calm, calculated and ruthless.

"I feel no emotion to him, good or bad, it is simply business.

"His face is blank to me.

"I smell fear from him, it is a beautiful aroma that arouses me.

"You've never nobody like me.

"I'm going to break Jose.

"I'm your father, I'm your daddy, call me Jose senior.

"Sit on my lap.

"Your coach rang Dana (White, UFC president) saying don't let Conor touch me.

"Look after yourself. That amuses me. Man up."

Jose Aldo spoke through his translator with Conor instructing her to pass on his message that he wanted to be called Jose's father.

Aldo compared the Dubliner to Scooby Doo.

Conor feels that Aldo is predictable and that he has never been more ready.

Host Mike Hill added at the end that he had “never been part of a more intense yet very entertaining interview”.

Jose Aldo told the media this week: "My mind is my strongest weapon. It's hard to get into my mind. I don't worry about it. Face-offs mean nothing. I'm in his head and he knows what's coming.

"I wasn't upset when he said that(about being raised in a favela).

"He talks a lot. If I care about everything he says, I will be [expletive].

"I just relax, try to stay cool. It's normal. I'm here to promote the fight.

"When I'm inside the cage, nobody will take anything from me.

"I focus on the fight, not on what people say. Pressure is nothing. It's part of the job. I fight in there.

"That is where I have to prove everything. In there, I will be concentrated to do my job."

It comes as Conor McGregor's coach John Kavanagh is confident that Brazilian Jose Aldo WILL fall against Notorious in their upcoming title bout - and he thinks "it's already over".

Aldo and Dubliner McGregor will trade blows on July 11 in Las Vegas, Nevada as they headline UFC 189.

The fight between the featherweight champ and trailblazer brawler 'Notorious' is one of the most highly anticipated in recent memory.

And speaking in Dublin tonight at a Tiger Beer "Uncaged" event at House on Leeson Street, coach Kavanagh told the Irish Mirror that Aldo will go down in a few months' time.
