Ultimate Fighting Championship’s biggest star in Conor McGregor has the world watching as he makes his way around Nevada, working toward that boxing bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr. While Dana White is dead-set that the fight is unlikely to take place, it is possible that McGregor could be returning to the octagon when he is ready to take on a different familiar foe.
Nate Diaz gave McGregor the biggest challenges of his career at “UFC 196” and “UFC 202” in 2016. Diaz would submit McGregor in their first fight, but the second saw a more competitive bout between the two with both fighters leaving it all in the octagon. McGregor recently graced the cover of GQ Magazine and they asked him about his fight with Diaz:
“Nate was 200 pounds. When I hit him down, it was exactly like if a sniper took aim at someone in between their eyeballs and let the thing rip. The way he dropped, it was like a sack of (expletive). So that’s a power I have.”
The interviewer went on to ask McGregor where he gets all his power from for his shots, and he responded in the most McGregor way possible:
“It’s all in the nut sack. It’s all in the ball sack. I just have confidence that comes from my big ball sack, and I know when I smack you, you’re going down. And that’s it.”
