Conor McGregor is confident of victory against Nate Diaz…and has refused to rule out taking on the Californian’s elder brother.

Nick Diaz is currently serving a drugs ban, but ‘The Notorious’ told BT Sport he would have “no problem” eventully seeing off both siblings.

“I probably would have chosen Nick over Nate, had Nick not been banned,” McGregor said.

“I feel by the time it’s all said and done I will slap the head off Nate and Nick…when I whoop the little bro, the big bro will want to come in and he’ll want to step up for his little brother.”

As for UFC 196 opponent Nate, McGregor said: “I see many errors in his game.

“I see many tells that will lead him into dangerous, dangerous waters against me.

“I see something, or many things, in everybody, so with time I will get through everybody.”

And he’s even given an indication about some of the shots he might use to see off the challenge of the 30-year-old.
