Joseph Duffy appeared on The MMA Hour yesterday and says he can beat Conor McGregor in a fight again. Duffy won by submission in 38 seconds in their 2010 fight.
“Nothing Conor says can get under my skin. If it was somebody who I cared about, like my family, saying this, yeah maybe. But Conor’s opinion doesn’t matter to me. He can say what he wants, and it doesn’t change the way I would fight him. It doesn’t change the fact that I think I would still beat him. None of that stuff changes. None of that will ever get under my skin.
“I believe I can take Conor out just as quickly. Everyone notices Conor has greatly improved, but so am I. Everything Conor does, I feel I can beat him at. He uses more kicks, I’ve been doing taekwondo since I was five. There’s not an area I feel he can beat me.”
McGregor is scheduled to fight Jose Aldo in a title unification bout at UFC 194, while Duffy is scheduled against Dustin Poirier in the main event at UFC Fight Night 76.
