Video: Conor McGregor on Nate Diaz Fight: I’m going to toy with the young boy

“I’m going to toy with the young boy. I’m going to play with him. His entries and exits; his retreats and faints, his patterns are all identical. He can’t break out of his set to routine, so he’s very predictable. I think the speed, you know people gave Jose [Aldo] the speed advantage, but that was a mistake when the fight began I had the clear speed advantage. I think it will be very evident the speed difference. I also know he’s heavy with his lead foot, but really now he’s more like an injured gazelle and he’s more heavy on his left foot. So I’m going to go in there and play with him.”

UFC Featherweight champion Conor McGregor giving his prediction for his fight with Nate Diaz. Conor was at the final press conference for UFC 196 where he will face late replacement Nate Diaz at a weight limit of 170. McGregor was originally scheduled to face UFC lightweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos until the Brazilian had to pull out of the event due to a foot injury.
Also on the card is Women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm who will be putting her world title on the line for the first time against second-ranked Miesha Tate in the co-main event of UFC196. The undefeated Holm became a household name at UFC® 193 when she knocked out previously unbeaten Ronda Rousey. The former boxing champion looks to keep her perfect record intact when she meets Tate, who is riding a dominant four-fight win streak.
