UFC champion in the weight category Featherweight Conor McGregor (link is external) will compete two weight classes above his last battle, but he doesn't care. His opponent Nate Diaz (link is external) he sees the courage, but this is not enough, McGregor said at a joint press conference with Nate Diaz.
Conor McGregor about the opponent:
"McGregor: to be honest, I like the younger brother of nick. How could he not like it? He's like a little gangsta Latinos in the area. He coached kids JIU-jitsu on Sunday morning and rides a Bicycle with senior. In his right hand tattooed gangster and a balloon animal on his left arm.
Diaz: Come on ***. I*** on your title belt. I don't care what you say".
About the steroids:
"Diaz: All on steroids. All the polls in the UFC. And you [McGregor] and Raphael DOS Anyos and Anthony Pettis — all.
McGregor: I don't. I don't use steroids. What ***** are you talking about? Two of your team-mate Gilbert and Jake are caught on steroids. Not me. Your two friends. Remember that? What happened to them? Did you know that they took?
Diaz: You're on steroids.
McGregor: Well, of course. I'm just a beast. Don't mention my name in conversation about steroids. I main in fighting this".
On the bout in the Welterweight weight class:
"McGregor: I don't care about weight. Only the weight of item I care about is weight check. My checks are always super heavy!"
About the possibility to reschedule the fight with Rafael DOS UNOSOM:
"McGregor: again it is Difficult to trust DOS Anjos. Same was with Jose Aldo. He withdrew and it took him two attempts to muster up the courage. I hope that Rafael will be enough two attempts to muster up the courage. When you avoid the fight with such an injury, a bump on the leg, I have little that I can do to return you to the cause. This slightly changes things. Let's see what will happen next.
They all recently got sick vagina. This is just crazy. Something strange is happening. DOS Anyos broke a foot and vagina in the same day and the same happened with Edgar. I can't believe there are chances for this joint event."
McGregor refusal Jose Aldo get a replacement:
"When a person fights with me and goes to a knockout, he needs 10-12 months to recover. You can't just immediately go back into battle, this is not a joke. You can't have a brain injury and immediately go back to the gym for sparring. Chad Mendes thought it possible, his jaw would never return to his former fortress. He too quickly returned and again knocked out cold.
I threw the head of Aldo on the floor like a basketball. He needs a year to regain health. After the battle ended, he makes all these statements: "I will fight with Congram at any time". His coach says: "We train in case of withdrawal from the battle DOS Años". This is the wrong decision, but I don't mind".
The duration of the battle:
"McGregor: I respect Nate. Don't get me wrong, I respect him. In our business is full of rags, but he is not one of them. Between us there is a respect, but an important business. But business is business. He will go into a knockout in the first round.
I feel the skin of his recurring patterns of movement, paucity of movement and predictability. It will be too slow. His body is loose and poorly prepared... he will not be able to cope with my ferocity.
Diaz: I'm out to kill or be killed".
