'Cowboy' foresees Alvarez making easy work of the Irishman on November 12 and suggested that McGregor will not be able to offer any resistance to the lightweight champ's shots.
“That’s not a good fight,” Cerrone said on UFC Unfiltered podcast. “Because Conor sucks. Eddie is smart. He won’t get caught up in all of the dramatics of it. He’ll just go in there and take him down, fucking wrestle him and fucking submit him... easy work.
“Conor is good at getting you emotionally involved. So, I think you just go out there, take him down, and fucking end him quick. Check please.”
Cerrone will fight on the same landmark card, which takes place at Madison Square Garden, and he actually holds a win against Alvarez in the latter's Octagon debut.
'Cowboy' doesn't reckon that the mental warfare at which McGregor is so masterful will work on Alvarez, nor does he believe that the mind games would work on him either although he concedes that the trash-talking used to get to him and resulted in his UFC 141 defeat to Nate Diaz.
“I don’t let that shit bother me anymore. Four years ago, yeah it did,” he said. “I wanted to hurt him bad. Just all the shit talking. I respect the shit out of the Diaz brothers.”
Will it be Mayo (or the Dubs) 4 Sam? Wooly, Paul Galvin and Conán Doherty preview Saturday’s All-Ireland final replay.
