Donald Cerrone denies feud with Conor McGregor, blames media for ‘digging for s**t’
“That’s just you media boys digging and shoveling for sh*t to bring up,” Cerrone told MMA Fighting. “That’s all that was. Conor hasn’t said anything bad about me so you’ve got to go get old sh*t out.”

both of them can box, connor however seem to be accurate even in his counter punch. so we'll see. i might just bet for the cowboy to take chances for the big win. this will be a standing fight which is good to watch than on the ground. kabib was just too good in wrestling that connor can't escape, the exasperation just too much to bear for him that kabib sees his weakness.
A cowboy will strangle a lepricon. He won 17 out of 36 fights by submission, and Conor is very bad on the ground
You cannot underestimate Conor just like that with a defeat against Khabib as no one expected him to win if he is not able to stuff the take down but the rest of the opponents were not able to take him down or wisely he avoided most of the wrestling based fighters and he had a dream run until he came against Nate Diaz and even in that fight Nate did not take him down, Conor tried to take him down because he was exhausted and in the next fight he made sure the fight did not goes to the ground and after a long gap he was fighting Khabib and Cerrone is not known to take down fighters down either unless they takes the initiative and i am sure Conor will be aware of the ground threat when he fights.

There is no doubt about the skills set of Donald Cerrone and his striking and ground game but he rarely uses that inside the cage and if he makes the mistake to strike with a elite striker like Conor McGregor he might get knocked out and it is not that easy to take McGregor down and even if that happens he will get out just like that and he got stuck only by Khabib and that is a different type of ground fighter altogether. 
I always doubted Conor McGregor and he always proved me wrong and i always picked against him and even when he lost the first fight against Nate Diaz that was the fight i picked him to win as the first two rounds he was thoroughly winning the fight and placed a bet on seeing that and i lost my bet and coming into this fight he is really prepared and he choose the division for this fight and i am expecting him to win but it will be a tough task to face Donal Cerrone and if he is not successful he can always move down to Featherweight division but he has bulked up a lot and i find it impossible for him to cut that much weight and his apt weight to fight would be Lightweight.
It will be humiliating for Conor if he will loose to Cerrone. With all the hype and how Dana White is supporting him and yet he will loose to Cerrone, he should think of his future after this fight. Conor is talented but he should be serious in preparing for his fights and not just partying and endorsing products left and right. It will be humiliating for Conor if he will loose to Cerrone.

If you have a fighter who could help you make a lot of money than the rest of the fighters then he will be having the priority and that is what he is getting here, everyone can promote him but Conor McGregor has to deliver when he fights and he has proved that in the past and all the fans are waiting to see how he will be preparing for his return and what his future will be, i am expecting this to be his last few fights and one more loss and he might retire as he made a lot of money and businesses so that he can carry on his spending life style even if he does not fight ever again.

If he is not able to dominate then he should go down in weight and fight in 145 pounds where he shined the most throughout his career and that made him the fighter he is now and i am sure he can beat many fighters in the 155 pound division as well but when it comes to fighters like Tony Ferguson and Khabib he might struggle but i am sure he will have an upper hand with the rest of the fighters.

And remember how convincing Diaz's win was in their first bout. I hope McGregor doesn't win exactly like how he won in his second fight vs Diaz. That would suck for him imo.

Here's a tape of Cerrone showing what he can do with that right leg. Very dangerous once McGregor starts gassing out...
Donald Cerrone does have lethal leg kicks and if Conor McGregor gasses out then there is no way he will go the distance, i am not expecting Conor to improve his cardio and change his fighting style and i am expecting a well prepared McGregor who will start aggressively from the start and if he is able to connect with Cerrone then he can very well knock him out.

Really looking forward to seeing Conor return to The Octagon after a long absence. I have no idea what to expect from him as he’s been away for so long.

Edit: It was really a left switch kick (but Cerrone's right leg is lethal too).

If McGregor can't find a way to deal with his problem this fight might turn like another Diaz fight, but actually Conor Mcgregor on the first round was surely superb with his techniques, accuracy, and fighting very smart and carefully analyzing his opponent very well, but if he can only keep that up in the latter of the fight I think there will be no question regarding his ability as a fighter.
The third round was a 10-8 round and from the third round Conor slowed down a lot and after getting beaten up he somehow came back in the 4th round and won that.
If the judges called it a draw then it would have been great as one judge scored a round 10 to 8 favoring Nate Diaz and hence it was a draw in one judges view and the rest of the judges gave the same rounds to Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor and it would have been a draw in my opinion rather than giving Conor the win as the fight was really close and if that fight was a draw then the career would have been different for Conor 
. It was not a split decision but a majority decision as Conor McGregor won three wounds and Nate Diaz won two rounds, the rounds Conor McGregor lost was third and fifth round and the fourth round was touch and go and it is only because he got tired after the second round and even with the match against Cowboy if it goes to the third round then the chance for Conor to win goes down.
Here is the scorecard

I think Conor won by one round but we can all argue who really won and each fighter have a good case. One thing is certain though, it wasn't a dominant performance and it could have gone either way. The split decision says it all.

Lewis answer was interesting. All this time I was thinking the cardio would be Conor's downfall and have set aside the fact that Donald has his lethal body and head kicks also.

One change with the first fights in 170 pounds is that he was physically not prepared as he was planning for a 155 bout and then he needs to move to a higher weight division because Nata Diaz was not able to cut the weight in a short period of time and he wanted the fight to be in that same weight class because of his competitive nature and confidence and right now he is physically prepared to be in the 170 pounds and i am sure he will perform better than his past performance and since he physically transformed putting in some weight who knows now he might have the knockout power in the higher division. 
It is now less than twelve days left for UFC 246 McGregor Vs. Cowboy
Let's see if he can still fight with his fist or only with his mouth.
