Conor McGregor Makes Prediction For Nate Diaz Rematch

The post Conor McGregor Makes Prediction For Nate Diaz Rematch appeared first on LowKick MMA.

UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor has proven to be one of the most active fighters recently, at least on social media. ‘The Notorious’ has been appealing his removal from UFC 200 since a number of strange events led to him being pulled from his rematch with Nate Diaz. It’s all spiralled in to a very strange stand off between McGregor and the UFC, after refusing to attend the initial press conference for the July 9 PPV bonanza, the brash Irishman has been arguing the toss with the promotion over his contractual stipulations.

Taking to Twitter this week once again, McGregor went on a tirade like few before hi. We are used to seeing ‘The Notorious’ talk trash to his opponents, but this time he was arguing with his followers social media. In a number of veiled insults to Jon Jones, Nate Diaz, Floyd Mayweather and the UFC McGregor came across as frustrated to say the least.

Amid all this madness, Nate Diaz remained typically cool headed, simply using the term ‘white belt’ when Conor McGregor claimed he ‘controlled and swept’ Diaz on the ground at UFC 196. The irony in the fact Diaz submitted McGregor in the firs ground exchange is more than apparent.

So where is Conor McGregor’s head right now? In the clouds, or consumed by his pride perhaps? The truth is, now that he isn’t communicating aside from social media and is on the UFC’s naughty list, we don’t really know. In new training footage it looks a lot like ‘The Notorious’ is still training for UFC 200.

Now he’s gone one step further, making a bold prediction for the rematch with Diaz…

Daniel Cormier Says He’ll Headline UFC 200 On One Condition

The post Daniel Cormier Says He’ll Headline UFC 200 On One Condition appeared first on LowKick MMA.

UFC light-heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier was slated to return this past Saturday (April 23, 2016) at UFC 197, but was forced off the card with an injury just two weeks prior. His bitter rival and former champ Jon Jones instead faced Ovince St-Preux in the main event of the Las Vegas pay-per-view, defeating him by unanimous decision and winning the interim title in the process. The win set up the inevitable rematch between “DC” and “Bones,” which has been brewing since their first fight back in January 015.

So much has happened in that time, and Jones came very close to serving a prison sentence while Cormier was enjoying the life of the 205-pound champion. Taking on and submitting Anthony Johnson at UFC 187, “DC” would go on to defed once against Alexander Gustafsso while Jones worked out his troubles following the infamous New Mexico hit-and-run.

Cormier’s loss that night on January 3 at UFC 182 left a lot of questions unanswered, and did little to settle the beef between the two light-heavyweight titans. Although there was no question who’d won the fight, it was clearly neither man’s greatest performance. Fast forward to present day, and “DC” said he could’ve easily beaten the “Bones” that showed up against OSP, and suddenly a spot on a huge PPV card had opened up unexpectedly.

Once Conor McGregor was pulled from UFC 200 for refusing to attend his first media obligations for the event, speculation raged as to who would replace ‘The Notorious’ opposite Nate Diaz in the main event. Then Diaz declared he was now ‘on vacation,’ and all of a sudden there’s scope for a big title fight to headline the landmark event. A perfect opportunity for Cormier vs. Jones 2? Yup, and here’s the condition “DC” laid out for taking that spot:

If we main event @ufc 200. We do press tour. One of the stops needs to be New Orleans. I want my state to be apart of this. #my1demand

With the super stacked UFC 198 card in Brazil, and also to an extent UFC 199, taking up a whole bunch of the promotion’s top talent, is there really any other option for UFC 200? With McGregor declaring he was back on the card before being shot down by Dana White, the rift between their marquis star and the organization could potentially be growing.

How would you feel about the UFC 200 card if it was headlined by Daniel Cormier vs. Jon Jones 2, and Jose Aldo vs. Frankie Edgar for the interim (or maybe undisputed?) featherweight strap?

Nate Diaz is still dropping bombs on Conor McGregor…

UFC lightweight and welterweight Nate Diaz stuck himself firmly on the map this past March 5, taking out the highly hyped UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor by submission. The UFC 196 had all the thrills and spills of a classic bout, including a fierce rivalry before hand. It was only 11 days in the making, as Diaz replaced the njured lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos, but the Stockton bad boy capitalized in a big way.

Many people felt the diverse striking attacks of McGregor would have Diaz shooting in for ground attacks and takedowns, but as it turned out, it was quite the opposite. The taller 209 native blasted ‘The Notorious’ with some hard shots, and for the first time in the Irishman’s UFC career, it looked like he may have been in trouble. Then cam, as predicted by Diaz, the takedown attempt from McGregor. It was as good as over from that point.

Diaz catapulted himself in to the limelight, and is currently relishing his well deserved attention and also a much increased disclosed pay check. Chatting with Mike Bohn for Rolling Stone Magazine, the younger of the infamous Diaz bros says he was close to knocking McGregor out, among some other cool topics:

“I lost plenty of decisions and I’ve never got a rematch to this day,” Diaz says. “So that’s crazy. Conor got worked over and now they’re saying rematch, which makes sense, I understand that. I just think it’s funny because it’s like, Jose Aldo didn’t get a rematch.”

“Those are both great fights, big fights, but those are both my brother’s fights. I’m not going to step on his shoes,” he says. “I’m not going to into his weight because everybody wants to see Nick vs. GSP or Nick vs. Lawler. I would like to fight for the Lightweight title. But if I did the [fighting at] 170 thing I would like them to work out the deal with Nick and I’ll take the leftovers.”

“I wasn’t training for the triathlon,” he says…

Anderson Silva Sends Warning Message To Conor McGregor

Anderson Silva sends a clear message to UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor, is there anyone that isn’t offended by McGregor’s antics?

The UFC featherweight champion and next contender to Rafael dos Anjos’ lightweight belt, Conor McGregor has a lot of business to tend to in two very stacked divisions. The jury is out on his 155-pound legitimacy until UFC 196, but his chops at 145 pounds are undeniable. Defeating the long reigning Jose Aldo in just 13 seconds at UFC 194, ‘The Notorious’ leaves the division on hold for his next battle with yet another Brazilian champ.

RDA will be a huge enough test as it is, but McGregor also revealed he’d be asking for a welterweight title fight if he wins the 155-pound belt. Now there’s someone in the UFC middleweight division that has beef with McGregor, and that’s the former champion Anderson Silva. He told FOX Sports that although he’s impressed by ‘The Notorious’ as a fighter, he doesn’t like the way the Irishman talks ill of Brazilians.

Check it out:

“(Conor) McGregor, he’s a great fighter and he’s doing his job very well. He’s very intelligent and he knows exactly what he’s doing. But Rafael (dos Anjos) can not get led on by his antics because it didn’t work out very well for Jose Aldo,” Silva said during an open workout with media on Thursday in Los Angeles.

“I think both Jose Aldo and Rafael can both beat him and I also think Conor McGregor should really be careful about what he says about the Brazilians. Because the last person that spoke about a Brazilian, it didn’t end too well for him.”

There are similarities and differences when comparing McGregor to fellow trash talker Chael Sonnen, one huge point is that only one of them actually made it to title glory, although the ‘American Gangster’ did come close.

Who knows what the future holds for the featherweight champion, or the division he’s currently putting on hold to fight in other weight categories. One thing will probably remain constant as long as ‘The Notorious’ keeps winning though, and that’s the amount of enemies he’ll be making all over the place, let alone in Brazil.

Stay tuned.
