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.

Conor McGregor’s claims were backed up by UFC president Dana White during a recent interview with “Sports Illustrated”.
During the first press conference featuring McGregor and his UFC 196 opponent Nate Diaz, the featherweight champion remarked that he asked for the fight to take place at 170 pounds – the welterweight limit.
Many wondered if it was just “Notorious” being notorious, but White made sure to cement the fact during the interview.
“The fight is supposed to be at 155. Nate says he wants it at 165,” White said (thanks to MMAjunkie.com for transcribing). “I said, ‘No, this kid is moving up from 145 to 155. You told me you could make 155. You’ve got to make 155.’ He can’t make 155, so I said, “Let’s do 160.’ He can’t do 160, so I tell Conor, ‘He can’t do 160 pounds. He wants to do 165 pounds.’ Conor says, ‘You tell him it’s 170.’
“Now we have a welterweight bout. Conor McGregor is moving from 145 pounds to 170 pounds to fight Nate Diaz.”
White added that McGregor boastfully remarked, “I will fight anybody, anytime at any weight,” and told the UFC to simply “call me back” when they knew what was going on.
McGregor was originally scheduled to challenge Rafael dos Anjos for the lightweight title this weekend. Jose Aldo, Frankie Edgar, Donald Cerrone and Anthony Pettis were among those mentioned as replacements before it was decided that Diaz would get the fight.
Daron Cruickshank is now a free agent, as the former Ultimate Fighter competitor and the UFC have parted ways.
Cruickshank, who debuted with the UFC back in 2012 after a stint on TUF, went 5-6 with one no-contest over his Octagon career. After defeating Anthony Njokuani in 2014 via decision, though, Cruickshank (16-8) was held winless over his last four bouts.
He had a fight with K.J. Noons end in a no-contest, with submission losses – all via rear-naked choke – coming at the hands of Beneil Dariush, James Krause and Paul Felder.
I’ve officially been released. It’s been a pleasure and privilege to fight for the UFC. I am now currently looking for a fight elsewhere.
Cruickshank’s time on The Ultimate Fighter was stopped by James Vick. He scored a decision vs. Drew Dober in the first round.
