UFC 196 is just around the corner, and Nate Diaz‘s camp is confident the Stockton native will topple Conor McGregor in the main event.
Diaz’s boxing coach, Richard Perez, told Submission Radio (h/t MMAFighting.com) that the Irishman will “look silly” against the former lightweight title contender. So, just what is Diaz’s game plan that will accomplish this feat on Saturday? Thanks to Sean Cunningham of ABC10, we have the answer:
Perez thinks the key difference at UFC 196 will be ring control and “ring generalship.” Without question, the stylistic matchup between Diaz and McGregor will get fans on their feet.
Diaz is a pressure fighter who throws high volume, and McGregor’s creativity confounds opponents, often leaving them face first on the mat. And then there is the brash in-ring talking both Diaz and McGregor bring into the cage with them.
UFC 196 takes place in Las Vegas on Saturday. Bleacher Report will have continuing coverage of all the action from the weekend’s highly anticipated clash.
