‘I will repay the favour’: Conor McG talks taking DOWN Nate Diaz
Everyone was shocked when Conor McGregor lost to Nate Diaz – but now, all Conor wants is revenge.
Nate knocked out our UFC World Champion in the second round in their last fight together, and now, Conor wants to return the favour.
While speaking on a conference call with the press, Conor said: “If I was to make a prediction which I will right now, I believe I will repay the favour and KO him inside the second round.
“I know I said I was going to stop the guy in the first round but if I really look at it I thought he has a solid chin, he’s durable, he’s very experienced.
"He has the size and the weight on me and I think that was the wrong thing to go in expecting the first round finish," he said.
“But respect to him. He stuck it out and he was durable, he was experienced. He weathered the storm.
“I’m still going to march forward, I’m still going to press him, I’m still going to bust him. There’s just going to be a lot more in my tank. I’m going to be a lot more prepared for a man that can stay in there with me.
“But even still, I struggle to give him past round three.”
