What’s Portuguese for ‘Mystic Mac’?

Rafael Dos Anjos has said Conor McGregor’s “next step is his fall”, as the two title-holders prepare to face off at UFC 197.

“He thinks he’s the boss, he thinks he’s God,” RDA is quoted as saying by MMAFighting.

The Brazilian, whose last victory came against Donald Cerrone in December, believes McGregor will “get scared” in the lead-up to March’s lightweight decider.

Dos Anjos also spoke about what he saw as McGregor’s impenetrable accent, saying: “I speak English, but he has an accent that is hard to understand sometimes.

“I believe it was worse for Aldo because he listened to what he said and watched everybody laugh but couldn’t understand a word,” he added.
