“I have to say if Cerrone kicks him to the chops, McGregor is going to fall like a ton of bricks,” Ferguson said. “But, like I always say, I’m going to go for a double knockout. I think they are going to go in there guns blazing. I think it is going to be a good fight, I can’t wait to watch it.”

As for Ferguson, he is preparing to challenge for the 155-pound title. He’ll meet undefeated champion Khabib Nurmagomedov on April 18 from Brooklyn. The fight has been made four times before, each time the fight being scrapped due to injury. Now, hopefully, the fifth time is the charm.

What do you think about Ferguson wanting a double knockout between McGregor and Cerrone?
