It didn’t take long for Conor McGregor to respond to Nate Diaz’s Tuesday morning interview with ESPN.<\/p>\n

Diaz and McGregor have fought twice previously. They first met at welterweight in March, 2016, with Diaz submitting McGregor in round two. The pair then met in an immediate rematch in August of the same year. In that fight, McGregor evened the score with a hard-fought majority decision victory.<\/p>\n

Since then, McGregor and Diaz have traded plenty of trash talk in interviews and on social media.\u00a0During Diaz’s interview with ESPN, that trend unsurprisingly continued\u2014and McGregor was quick to return fire.<\/p>\n

While McGregor could have targeted Diaz for any number of things, he elected to poke fun at his rival for the gaming chair he sat in during the interview, calling it a “race car chair.”<\/p>\n

See what McGregor had to say below, as captured buy Connoisseur of Combat<\/a> on Twitter:<\/p>\n

https:\/\/twitter.com\/conofcombat\/status\/1359163832590041090<\/p>\n

“Look out, we got a bad ass in a race car chair over here,” McGregor wrote on Instagram<\/a>. “Cool race car chair bro.”<\/p>\n

“Vroom vroom beep beep.”<\/p>\n

During his interview with ESPN, Diaz had plenty to say about McGregor, most notably criticizing<\/a> his rival’s performance against Dustin Poirier last month.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he f*cked up more than Dustin did anything good,\u201d Diaz said of McGregor. \u201cHe was landing shots and it looked in the bag to me but he still makes the same mistakes he always has.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe tried to make it last against Khabib [Nurmagomedov in 2018], he took four rounds to finish him off; then he fought Dustin, he was dropping combinations on him but I think he was pushing the pace like he had it in the bag,\u201d Diaz said. \u201cThat happens because he doesn\u2019t want to be in there, he\u2019s too anxious for the kill because he wants out. He should have slowed it down a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n
