Conor McGregor Gives Paul vs Diaz Prediction: ‘Nate Slaps His Head Off’

When it comes to fight sports, it’s fair to say that Conor McGregor knows a thing or two. The MMA superstar is one of the most popular and entertaining fighters in UFC history, as well as having had a professional boxing bout against the great Floyd Mayweather.

When it comes to prize fighting, everyone knows the name of Conor McGregor. Not only did he talk his way into a fight with Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather for his boxing debut and genuinely have people believing he was going to win the fight, but he often backs up his talk with winning performances.

Now, McGregor hasn’t fought in over two years, and of course lost his last two UFC fights to Dustin Poirier. It remains to be seen whether he will ever return to MMA or boxing, but in the meantime he is enjoying a long break away with his family.

Despite being more of an expert on MMA, ‘The Notorious’ also knows his fair share when it comes to boxing. Given that he is a fighter himself and has stellar boxing ability and deep boxing roots, his tips and predictions for big fights are usually extremely popular with fans.
