Conor McGregor is all about titles and checks. He says it in every interview he does. McGregor first went after the featherweight title and won it in fashion when he knocked Jose Aldo out in seconds at UFC 194.

He then had his sights set on the lightweight title and was supposed to fight Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 196. Now, obviously, he won’t be fighting Anjos this Saturday, but rather Nate Diaz in a welterweight bout. McGregor and his coaches have also talked about moving up and taking the welterweight title from Robbie Lawler. McGregor believes he can win any title in the UFC.

Fellow UFC fighter Matt Brown discussed the possibility of McGregor moving up and winning titles in other divisions.

“I can understand them giving it to Conor,” Brown said on the latest Great MMA Debate podcast. “He’s the money man. That makes sense. (Tyron) Woodley, he shouldn’t even be getting a title shot. This guy, he beat Kelvin Gastelum, and he didn’t even beat Carlos Condit. His last fight was Gastelum. That’s a (expletive) joke. He’s just a business man. Just trying to play the business and not actually fight and earn it like other people are.

“If Conor beats Nate, there’s no reason he shouldn’t be able to fight for whatever title he wants. He’s the money man. I wish that it wasn’t the truth. Floyd (Mayweather) could go fight any weight he wants and fight any guy he wants, and Conor’s in the same boat. That’s where the money is,” Brown said.

“There’s no reason not to give him the money fights. I guarantee (Robbie) Lawler would rather fight Conor and break out the red panties.”

McGregor is expected to fight dos Anjos or Lawler in his next bout.

Video: Nate Diaz Admits He ‘Might Get Merked’ At UFC 196

Much of the video coverage for this weekend’s (Sat., March 5, 2016) blockbuster UFC 196 has been understandably focused on star featherweight champion Conor McGregor, but recently, a video surfaced of his opponent Nate Diaz that may or may not be a telling prognostication for the short notice bout.

In the short spot that mainly focuses on Diaz’ training from MMA Uncensored, the popular Stockton slugger can be seen admitting that he ‘might get worked’ by the powerful Irish champion. While that’s an obvious possibility given the timing and odds of the heated affair, it’s also quite odd to hear the normally standoffish Diaz say such a thing.

Watch it here and decide if it’ll have any impact on the fight:

UFC 196 Video: Sh*t Conor McGregor Says

The UFC seems to be getting a little bit more creative with their promo videos lately. But what do you make of this highlight of Conor McGregor from their official Youtube channel?

UFC 196 is within touching distance now, as we count down the last three days before the massive March 5 pay-per-view event. In typical Conor McGregor fashion, the trash talk levels have been at an all-time high, as he finds himself paired with yet another late replacement in Nate Diaz. After the lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos fell out of the card injured, Diaz took the reigns and stepped in on just 12 days notice.

This has allowed the promotion to put together a number of epic promo videos, mostly cut from the same impromptu UFC 196 pre-fight press conference. It’s quite amusing to see that the UFC released this following video highlight of Conor McGregor just yesterday, showing the UFC featherweight champion laughing for 49 seconds straight, in various different situations. Who needs career highlights and promo trailers when you can cut videos like this:

With just three days left until McGregor and Diaz face off in Las Vegas, Nevada at UFC 196, you’d think that a video of the Irish boxer laughing would be the last thing fans would want to see. That said, it’s got a ton of views in the brief time it’s been online.

Elsewhere on the internet, fans are once again outdoing the promotion in terms of video quality, as this awesome trailer for UFC 196 is doing the rounds:
 So who will emerge victorious in the last minute welterweight headliner at UFC 196? For once McGregor is at a height and reach advantage against the slightly taller Diaz, and once again faces a fighter with far more grappling credentials. But that’s not all, as we know Nate can also bang, bro.

McGregor Predicts Left Uppercut Will KO Diaz

Not only has Conor McGregor been able to predict the round he will finish opponents, he has recently been predicting the type of fashion in which he will finish a fight. The Irishman was successful in his prediction of knocking out Jose Aldo and said that the Brazilian would “overextend” with his right hand and that he would clip him with his left.

Media pundits have been eager to know what McGregor thinks of Diaz and how he would be able to beat him. McGregor said in a recent interview that he feels that Diaz is “too predictable” and that his style is limited.

“He’s in a set pattern, it’s hampered him” McGregor said. “I feel his body will be ripped through shreds. . . I feel like the left uppercut will be a nice one. . . My left uppercut will pin him clean.”

McGregor has been able to use his left uppercut to knockout Marcus Brimage in his UFC debut back in 2013 so it is a weapon in his arsenal.
