Conor McGregor recently revealed his love for Liverpool - but Jurgen Klopp’s men are still no match for his beloved Ireland.

Footage emerged of the Irishman nailing his colours to the Merseyside mast as he told fans: “I'm red... f*** Everton”.

But when it comes to the club-versus-country debate, McGregor is clear on which corner he stands in. And it’s not the Red one.

When asked in an exclusive Q&A with his sponsors Betsafe whether he’d rather Liverpool lift the Premier League or Ireland win the World Cup, the Dublin fighter said: “Ireland winning the World Cup!”

Ireland’s World Cup 2018 qualification is in their hands with four Group D games to play.

They are second, level on points with Serbia, and travel to Georgia next on September 2 before a must-win clash with the current leaders in Dublin three days later.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are unbeaten so far this season and face a must-win clash at Anfield against Hoffenheim tonight in order to confirm their Champions League place.

5,040 miles away in Las Vegas, meanwhile, McGregor will stand head-to-head with rival Floyd Mayweather for a final time before the richest fight in history this weekend.

Revealing his biggest influence in his career, the Betsafe ambassador said The man in the mirror, me. I’m self-motivated.”

He warned pound-for-pound great Mayweather, who has never lost in 49 professional boxing contests, that his favourite punch is the “left paw”.
