Just a few days to face Nate diaz in the main fight of UFC 196, in Las Vegas (USA), Conor McGregor gave an interview to the famous television presenter Conan O'Brien and demonstrated the coup with which he intends to achieve victory.
The Irishman was present at the talk show last Thursday (3) and said he considers his fighting style much more versatile than that of his rival. “I feel like he [Diaz] is repetitive, he’s stuck in his routine. His blows are always the same. I feel like I have several tricks up my sleeve. I like one upper left-wing. He has good size and wingspan, but I like that shot. I also like the half-moon, which is a capoeira technique where you place your hand on the ground and swing your heel like a baseball bat. I’m getting better at this,” said McGregor, arousing the presenter’s curiosity.
O’Brien questions McGregor about the move and the fighter offers: “I can do it here if you want.” McGregor demonstrates the kick and the presenter responds: “If that hit me in the face, I would die.”
McGregor and Diaz are in the main fight of UFC 196, this Saturday (5). Check out the moment below:
