UFC 194's Conor McGregor says Joseph Duffy loss 'was a panic situation,' will 'KO him stiff' in rematch

Conor McGregor never minces words: When he says it, he means it.

And so far he has been correct.

"Notorious" is the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) interim Featherweight titleholder and he will be getting his long-awaited crack at 145-pound king Jose Aldo at the UFC 194 pay-per-view (PPV) on Sat. Dec. 12, 2015 inside MGM Grand Garden Arena (full fight card here).

However, as he's made abundantly clear, the Featherweight belt isn't the only piece of gold he's after.

McGregor plans on ambushing "Junior" and then making the climb to the Lightweight division, where he will then have the opportunity to trounce the winner of the upcoming UFC on FOX 17 155-pound title fight between champion Rafael dos Anjos and No.
