"I see him as a dead man walking," said McGregor on the first episode of the UFC's Embedded series. "He'll shit his jocks like he always does, it's nothing new. I'm going to go in, smack him hard, rattle his head and raise that gold once again."McGregor admitted that his fight with Mayweather last year was akin to a circus but that he feels that many fans forget the skills that he possesses since his last fight with Eddie Alvarez in November, 2016.
"I went around the world in that last one, it was like a circus. I put many of my tools into the toolbox and left them there when I stepped into that boxing ring so I think many people forget the skills that I possess.

"I wouldn't be worrying about the two years out of the octagon. He's been training and he's been spending plenty of time in the Octagon at the gym at home but it's a lot freer now. We were limited to just the hands in the last fight but he's now able to use all the tools and you can see that in his spars. "He's very creative, he's using all the weapons and he looks phenomenal so it's all looking good."
