It was recently reported that Conor McGregor will be moving up in weight for a super-fight against fellow champ Rafael Dos Anjos at UFC 197. While most people think that match up would be the toughest bout in McGregor's career, the Irishman believes that it will be another easy night in the office.
"My next fight," McGregor wrote on Facebook. "What can I say, it's just another night of easy work for me."
"I don't just own the game. I run it too."

Dos Anjos has been on an incredible tear as of late, destroying the likes of Ben Henderson, Anthony Pettis, Nate Diaz, and most recently, Donald Cerrone. While stylistically it seems like a tough match up for the featherweight champ, it's also unsurprising that McGregor feels that way. Apart from having an immensely high confidence in himself, the same "this is a bad match up" line has been thrown at him on each of his last fights.
He has passed with flying colors each and every time, so it's no surprise he'd maintain that mindset coming into this champion vs champion bout. RDA will be a much bigger, stronger, and potent finisher than the other featherweights Conor has faced though, but will this end up the same way? I honestly can't wait to find out.
UFC 197 will also feature a 2nd title fight between Holly Holm and Miesha Tate.
