Press for UFC 202 has been heating up steadily over the past few weeks.

Just last week while Nate Diaz had a guest spot on the Conan when Conor McGregor crashed and called him out.

Diaz was a little surprised and later tweeted:

@Ufc played me again #trustnobody?

But now the time for press has arrived and Conor took the opportunity to shine at his 2nd best skill: smack talking!

“This time, I’m still going to march forward, I’m still going to press him,” McGregor said. “I’m still going to bust him but there’s going to be a lot more in the tank and I’m going to be a lot more prepared for a man that can stay in there with me. If I was to make a prediction, and I will right now, I believe I will repay the favor and KO him inside the second round.”

Admittedly, the first fight came on a bit of a short notice because the now former lightweight champ, Rafael Dos Anjos had to withdraw due to injury. McGregor was severely criticized for his performance during the first fight but he has since come to terms with the outcome and vows for a different result at UFC 202:

“F***** people,” McGregor said. “I came in to fight and that’s it. People can say what the f*** they want. I didn’t feel his weight anywhere until that moment, until when he sprawled. When I went to turn away from mount and regain guard or something, he sprawled me out at the right time and that was it. It was done at that stage but fuck it. I’ll take that one on the chin and here we are. 15 days so I look forward to it.”

McGregor famously predicted the outcome of his fight against Jose Aldo:

“I said his right hand would get him into trouble. I said he’d overload on his right hand, and that’s what happened,” said McGregor.

“I see these shots. I see these sequences. If you truly believe in it. If you become vocal with it – you are creating that law of attraction and it will become reality. So, mystic Mac strikes again.”
