The oddsmakers may say otherwise, but UFC president Dana White believes Conor McGregor has a good chance at upsetting Floyd Mayweather in their upcoming boxing showdown.

White heaped plenty of praise upon McGregor while appearing on Thursday's episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and even compared him to Muhammad Ali.

"Conor McGregor is one of the best ever - I hate to compare people to Ali, I just hate to do it - but one of the best ever in the game at the mental warfare," White said. "And Floyd in his own right is very good at it too."

White also revealed which moment from the promotional tour made him most nervous and whether he expects President Donald Trump to attend the fight.
