"This guy said he can beat Jesus, and I will show him what a man of God can do on March 5. I’m going to teach him this lesson."
With the bout scheduled to take place in less than seven weeks, there will be no time for the kind of world tour that took place when McGregor was slated to face former UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo last year.
That's probably a positive thing because Dos Anjos has revealed that he would find it difficult to restrain himself from putting his hands on 'The Notorious' if he tried the same trash-talking techniques that he used against Aldo.
"I’ve fought the best lightweights in the world, and he’s a featherweight," said dos Anjos. "He’s a good fighter, but I’ve fought better fighters. I just fought Cerrone, who is almost twice his size. People say McGregor is tall and all that. He’s as tall as I am, or maybe even shorter. He might have a longer reach, but I’ve fought Nate Diaz and Cerrone, who had reach advantage, and fought Anthony Pettis and Ben Henderson. I was tested against the best.
"The most complicated part of all this will be control myself so I don’t put my hands on this lunatic before the fight, but I will hold on, be cool, and beat him up on March 5. It’s going to be beautiful. He has some qualities, but I’ve fought better fighters."
