Nate Diaz Reacts To Conor McGregor’s Latest UFC Callout….And It’s Hilarious
In a week absolutely dominated by the hasty retirement and then un-retirement of UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor, we’ve heard precious little from Nate Diaz, the man who recently destroyed ‘The Notorious,’ at March’s UFC 196 and was set to rematch him in the main event of July’s UFC 200 until McGregor was unceremoniously pulled.
Diaz quickly spoke up this Tuesday when McGregor issued his original puzzling retirement tweet, but other than that he had remained relatively quiet on the subject as countless top fighters were prodded for their opinion on McGregor while the drama overshadowed every bit of coverage for this weekend’s UFC 197.
That is, until now.
When McGregor issued a response boasting his accomplishments and putting the ball in the UFC’s court last night, Diaz tweeted and deleted his own response, but it still showed up on Jake Shields’ Instagram. Check it out here:
That’s certainly going to draw the ire of McGregor fans everywhere, who believe that the UFC asked him to do far too much promotion for his fights which in turn prevented him from training like he needed to in order to win. However, Diaz has the right to talk a bit of smack himself, because even though McGregor is still the most talked-about personality in MMA, he did slay him.
We were going to have a chance to see if McGregor could avenge that loss at UFC 200, but the promotion has apparently decided to pull McGregor off the card altogether. Will we ever see Diaz rematch MMA’s most polarizing star?
