This Saturday, Conor McGregor can move another step closer to a long-awaited title fight when he takes on Russian-Germany Dennis Siver in Boston.

Fellow Irish UFC fighter Cathal Pendred is also in action against American Sean Spencer.

But what can each fighter expect in their respective bouts? 

Oisin Langan was joined by MMA journalist Mark O'Toole to preview both fights on the Monday Rewind podcast.

Mark pointed that McGregor has often been an underdog to a degree in most of his UFC fights and that the Siver fight is a departure from that.

Mark also analysed the challenge Siver will pose in terms of his fighting style and the superior strengths McGregor has.

Meanwhile, Mark also set out how Pendred can win in his birthplace of Boston.
