Donald Cerrone believes he can finish Conor McGregor in the second round.

While Cerrone vs. McGregor isn’t a lock, things certainly appear to be going in that direction. Cerrone was the first one to lay down the challenge and after he finished Alex Hernandez at UFC on ESPN+ 1, he had McGregor’s attention. UFC president Dana White is on board with the match-up.

Cerrone is in Australia as a guest fighter for UFC 234. A Q&A session was held ahead of fight night and “Cowboy” took some questions from fans. Cerrone talked about his excitement for the potential bout (via MMAJunkie.com):

“This is a fight that I think everyone is going to love. I’m very excited to be involved with him. How am I going to beat him? I’m going to go out there and give it hell like I always do.”

As far as a prediction goes, “Cowboy” made it clear that he’s aiming for a finish:

“(My prediction is a) second-round head kick (knockout).”

Many believe that booking McGregor vs. Cerrone for “International Fight Week” is a no-brainer. McGregor’s suspension will end in April, but White has said that the “Notorious” one will not be fighting that month.
