Ah… that’s how you do it.

Conor McGregor has looked pretty much unstoppable since joining the UFC. Seven fighters have tried to hand him his first defeat in the world’s biggest MMA promotion, but so far no one has been able to grab that elusive win over him.

Many feel that the key to beating the Dubliner is to get him to the mat and keep him there, much like Chad Mendes did during the second round of their interim featherweight title fight at UFC 189. However, we all know how well that worked out for poor ol’ Money.

McGregor’s next opponent, Nate Diaz, who stepped in for the injured Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 196 had a pretty spectacular answer when asked what the key to defeating the Notorious was during a media day on Wednesday.
