Conor McGregor Next Fight: 'The Notorious' To Consider Boxing After UFC 196?

Mar 06, 2016, 12:06

It was the deepest strife the Notorious had ever been in and he never responded well as Diaz began to land punches at will. After McGregor tried to take Diaz down in an act of desperation, the former executed a rear-naked choke and forced a tap out.

According to White, however, if McGregor does stay at 170 or doesn't drop back below 155 due to the atrociously hard cut down to 145 pounds, vacating the UFC Featherweight title will be a "non-issue".

"It doesn't matter what weight divisions or anything, or even what belt is on the line, because really I should create my own belt", McGregor said during the initial UFC 196 press conference at the UFC Gym in Torrance, Calif. "I am myself my own belt".

Rubio and Cruz split the remainder, just as they did voters looking for the best person to handle Supreme Court nominations. More than 8 in 10 Republicans were dissatisfied or angry, the poll showed, and only about 1 in 10 said they were satisfied.

This will be her chance to prove it wasn't a fluke with a dominating win over Tate and I believe she will do so. "I'm a lion in there, and I'm going to eat you alive". Champions should be able to go up and down and fight any challenge that comes before them. Just go back to his fight against Donald Cerrone, or even his last fight against Michael Johnson.

For McGregor, the big question mark is how the fast riser will manage the extra 25 pounds he added to jump up two weight classes in order to face bad boy Diaz. He gets business. He's not unreasonable about anything and he will fight anybody, anywhere at any time. McGregor moved well throughout the opener and landed some good punches, one of which drew blood from Diaz's right eye. Diaz also is very slick on the ground with his jiu-jitsu, but doesn't tend to look for takedowns.

LAS VEGAS - Conor McGregor walked to the official weigh-in scale on Friday with a smile on his face, patting his belly the entire way.
