He might not be a UFC champion just yet, but Irish mixed martial artist Conor McGregor (14–2) sure knows how to act like one since his UFC debut last year against Marcus Brimage. He’s great at hyping up a fight and his trash talking skills are almost superiors to the ones of Chael Sonnen. Plus, McGregor is on a 10-fight win streak, which means his skills inside the cage are not to be taken lightly.
His upcoming opponent Diego Brandao (18–9) is no slouch either, and is well aware of McGregor’s skills for their upcoming bout this weekend in Dublin, Ireland. Brandao replaced an injured Cole Miller in June, so McGregor has a slight advantage coming into the fight because he had more time to prepare. However, Brandao will look for an early finish on fight night since he’s coming off a loss to Dustin Poirier in December.
