Donald Cerrone is always looking to fight and has no problem with fighting anyone, at any time. Cerrone, who is set to fight Alex Oliveira at UFC Fight Night 83 in the main event, is coming off a loss to Rafael dos Anjos at UFC on FOX 17. Cerrone knows what it’s like to fight the Anjos, and soon UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor will step inside the world famous Octagon and experience that for himself.

Cerrone recently spoke with MMA Junkie about his upcoming fight with Oliveira and revealed that he would be willing to fight McGregor at 155 (lightweight).

“Give me Conor McGregor. I’ll fight that p-ssy. Other than that, I don’t care,” Cerrone said.

The reason for the call out is because Cerrone is tired of McGregor calling out welterweights. According to Cerrone, McGregor needs to slow his roll.

“Tell that dude to slow his f-cking roll. You can’t be just calling out 170-pounders. So, whatever. Enough of him.”

Cerrone and McGregor have exchanged words in the past, so if McGregor can beat dos Anjos and hold on to the lightweight title for sometime and Cerrone can string along some wins to get him back into the title hunt, then a fight between the two could be made.

Coach: Rafael Dos Anjos Will Make Conor McGregor Quit

UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos is as confident as UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor going into UFC 196.

UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos is as confident as UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor going into UFC 196. Anjos’ coach Rafael Cordeiro recently spoke with Mirror.uk about the upcoming fight and according to Cordeiro, Anjos will put McGregor in deep waters.

“From my perspective, Rafael will do well and is going to fight very well. He is very excited for this fight, and we are going to put McGregor in deep waters. He’s never fought anybody on the same level as Rafal.”

McGregor’s last few fights have not gone the distance and has ended very quickly due to his knockout power.

Cordeiro strongly believes that if McGregor went into the championship rounds in his fight with Jose Aldo at UFC 194, then McGregor would have lost to the former featherweight champion.

“We knew if it had gone to the second, third and fourth, we knew Jose Aldo could have beat him, but unfortunately, it was a knockout, but a fight is a fight, and we are going to do everything to make sure Rafa raises his arm at the end of the fight, and we are going to work hard for that”

Cordeiro finished the interview by saying that dos Anjos will beat McGregor so bad that he will ask for the fight to be stopped.

“We believe Rafal can beat McGregor in a bad way. Maybe it’s going to be the first time that [McGregor] is going to ask to stop the fight.”

UFC 196 takes place at MGM Grand Garden Arena on March 5 and airs on PPV, FOX Sports 1, and UFC Fight Pass.

Reigning UFC featherweight champion and Irish phenom the “Notorious” Conor McGregor made waves with his speech after winning “Fighter of the Year” at the recent Fighter’s Only Awards show.

Unable to attend the event, McGregor filmed his acceptance speech, in which he called out a majority of the mixed martial arts (MMA) world, specifically heavyweight champion Fabricio “Vai Cavalo” Werdum.

However, it now appears as if Werdum wasn’t the only one bashed by the 145-pound king, as new video footage from Fighter’s Only features McGregor taking shots at Frankie “The Answer” Edgar and Nate Diaz as well.

Edgar, who appears to be next in line at featherweight, has been campaigning for a shot at McGregor for quite some time now, while Diaz called out the Irishman after his most recent win over Michael Johsnon last December.

Check out what the brash McGregor had to say about each man and his money below:

“The who’s who of MMA I’m sure is there in their badly fitted suits, having a penny in their pocket,” McGregor said. “I heard Nate Diaz couldn’t even afford to fly over to Las Vegas for the ceremony. Frankie Edgar… I heard he’s dressed like a little Sheikh servant or something struggling to make a few quid.

“Hard work pays so take notes,” he continued. “Stop holding bitterness deep in your bum soul. Stuck on 20,000 to show and 20,000 to fight. I wipe my ass with that money. I tip your wage in a year.”

Enjoy the full video below:

McGregor is currently slated to take on lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos in the main event of March 5’s UFC 196 from Las Vegas, Nevada.

Edgar will likely get his shot at the “Notorious” one if and when McGregor gets around to defending his featherweight title, and a showdown between McGregor and Diaz could go down in the future given the outcome of UFC 196.

Does McGregor have what it takes to dethrone RDA and simultaneously hold two titles at one time?

Conor McGregor’s Coach Teases He May Go For UFC Welterweight Title Too

conor-mcgregor-and-kavanagh

UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor’s head coach John Kavanagh recently wrote a guest column for Irish sports website the42.ie. According to Kavanagh, McGregor might look for a fight against Robbie Lawler for the UFC welterweight title in the future.

“If that’s what Conor wants to do, I’ll absolutely support that move,” he wrote. “I think that would be fantastic. We’re already talking about making history in a few weeks, but can you imagine what it will be like if Conor is the champion in three weight classes by the summer?”

“He’s obviously already the featherweight champion, but we haven’t thought about that recently as we’ve been totally focused on the lightweight belt,” Kavanagh said. “Once that’s out of the way, we’ll talk about what to do with the featherweight belt.”

“As time goes on, it’s harder to predict what will happen in the future. Conor has a sort of unusual body type in that even though he can make featherweight; he’s still a very big lightweight. Given some time, as well as a bit of strength and conditioning work, he could also be a force at welterweight. This is an interesting time.”

McGregor is scheduled to fight Rafael dos Anjos for the UFC lightweight title at UFC 196 on March 5, 2016 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Coach Wouldn’t Be Surprised If Conor McGregor Fought Robbie Lawler At UFC 200

UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor will attempt to make history in just a few weeks as he aims to become the first man to simultaneously hold titles in two different weight classes.

The “Notorious” one will take on reigning lightweight king Rafael dos Anjos in the main event of March 5’s UFC 196 from Las Vegas, Nevada.

Despite having an extremely tall order in front of him, could we possible see McGregor challenge for a third world title as early as this summer? His head coach John Kavanagh wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out that way:

“I’ve seen that rumors of Conor fighting Robbie Lawler for the 170-pound belt at UFC 200 on July 9 have been gathering momentum. It’s not something we have discussed specifically but after Conor wins the lightweight belt, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if the next fight is for the welterweight belt,” McGregor’s head coach John Kavanagh wrote in a post on The 42 on Thursday.

“If that’s what Conor wants to do, I’ll absolutely support that move. I think that would be fantastic. We’re already talking about making history in a few weeks, but can you imagine what it will be like if Conor is the champion in three weight classes by the summer?”

Due to the fact that he cuts a tremendous amount of weight to fight at featherweight, moving to 155-pounds was likely from the onset for McGregor, and he’ll likely size up well with the lightweight elite.

That being said, moving up another 15 pounds to welterweight is a different story. Once again, Kavanagh isn’t worried, noting that with proper time McGregor could be a force at 170-pounds:

“As time goes on, it’s harder to predict what will happen in the future. Conor has a sort of unusual body type in that even though he can make featherweight, he’s still a very big lightweight,” Kavanagh explained.

“Given some time, as well as a bit of strength and conditioning work, he could also be a force at welterweight. This is an interesting time.”

While holding two titles at one time has been unheard of in the UFC, being a three-weight world champion just seems silly to even fathom about. If any man could do it, however, it would be the brash Irish knockout artist.

What do you think the future holds for McGregor?

Eddie Alvarez: There’s A Simple Way To Beat Conor McGregor, But Nobody Seems To Be Doing It

According to UFC Lightweight contender Eddie Alvarez not only is there a way to beat UFC Featherweight Champion Conor McGregor, there’s a specific style that if correctly implemented, would make it look easy.

Alvarez spoke about the proper game plan…

eddie-alvarez-ufc-tonight

According to UFC Lightweight contender Eddie Alvarez not only is there a way to beat UFC Featherweight Champion Conor McGregor, there’s a specific style that if correctly implemented, would make it look easy.

Alvarez spoke about the proper game plan needed to beat “The Notorious” Irishman during his appearance on Monday’s edition of “The MMA Hour.”

“For me, it’s a very simple fight for [Rafael dos Anjos] to win, but he needs to implement a ground attack. If he don’t, I honestly feel like he can get knocked out, just like the other guys Conor was able to knock out. But he can’t allow it to be mostly of a striking [contest].

“I hate when guys who are from a BJJ background and a good wrestling background abandon their whole base and their whole fundamental because a lot of guys around them are telling them that they’re really good strikers. I hope RDA doesn’t do that. I hope he sticks to what he’s good at and wins the fight in a dominant fashion the way he can, the way I feel like a lot of guys can that aren’t doing it against Conor.”

The former Bellator Lightweight Champion elaborated when breaking down McGregor’s recent victory over Chad Mendes.

“There’s a simple way to win against this guy and nobody seems to be doing it. It’s really frustrating to watch. I feel like he’ll look foolish. I honestly feel it could be an embarrassment. It could be like everyone in the crowd going, ‘Wow, that was it? Why didn’t anybody else do that?’ It could be that surprising to people. That’s how I feel. We just haven’t seen him there.”

“Let’s talk about that for one second. Mendes is primarily a wrestler, correct? Primarily a wrestler. In order to implement a wrestling attack, it takes a ton of energy and a ton of conditioning and energy. You can’t roll off the couch and implement a wrestling attack against a guy. It’s just not going to happen. You need to be conditioned. You need to be in shape. If you’re a wrestler and you’re rolling off the couch and going to fight, essentially, you have no weapons. You have none. Your only weapon wrestling is no good because you’re not conditioned.”

In closing, Alvarez made it clear that he is frustrated and ready to see someone end the “whole goddamn spectacle” that is Conor McGregor.

“The guy hasn’t been in the fight we need to see him in. Nobody’s implemented an attack and when someone does, it’s over. This whole show’s over. The whole goddamn spectacle’s over. I don’t know why no one’s doing it. It’s very frustrating.”
