Linebacker Kiko Alonso

(I’ll give you a hard one right off the bat. Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather. What’s the prediction?) – “I’ve got Mayweather.”

(Decision? Knockout?) – “I’m saying knockout. I’m saying knockout Mayweather.”

(How much are you looking forward to that fight?) – “I’m glad we get to watch it, because it’s … We might have the day off. I’m looking forward to it. It’s like a once in a lifetime type fight. It’s going to be fun. It might not be much of a fight, but it’s going to be entertaining.”

(Are you trying to go to it?) – “No. I’m going to watch it on TV.”

(How do you think they’ve promoted the fight? Would you do anything differently?) – “I thought it was funny. The tour – the press tour – that was some funny stuff, like some WWE stuff.”

(How would you describe your comfort level now in your second year with the Dolphins?) – “I’m really comfortable. It’s nice going into a year and being comfortable in the system. This is my first year having the same defense, so it’s definitely nice.”

(With your QB Ryan Tannehill picks back-to-back days, were those reads, disguised? How’d you get him?) – “I was just dropping into coverage and I was kind of reading his eyes, and I was in the right place at the right time.”

(Kind of picking up where you left off last year with the takeaways aren’t you?) – “Yes. We’re just trying to make some plays, trying to help out the team.”

(It’s still early in the process, but how is the chemistry building with you and LB Lawrence Timmons?) – “Good. The more reps we get, the more comfortable we’re getting.”

(Anything about LB Lawrence Timmons that has stood out to you so far?) – “The guy plays hard. He brings some intensity. The guy loves the game and he’s just a great, great player. It’s going to be fun.”

(How do you feel like your skills translate to playing on the outside?) – “It’s not that different. At the end of the day, its run, hit, make plays. That’s what I’m going to try to do.”

(Does it give you a chance to do anything even better playing outside as opposed to in the middle?) – “I don’t know. We’ll see. I’m going to go try and do my part on the outside.”
