Conor McGregor was not happy with the post-fight comments made by Nate Diaz at tonight’s UFC 279 event.<\/p>\n

Diaz (21-13 MMA) completed the final fight of his UFC contract when he stepped in the Octagon with Tony Ferguson this evening.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Stockton Slugger\u2019 had entered his final Octagon appearance for Dana White<\/a> and company with plans of snapping a two-fight losing skid. The former TUF 5 winner had most previously competed in June of last year, where he suffered a unanimous decision loss to reigning welterweight champion Leon Edwards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tonight\u2019s \u2018Diaz vs. Ferguson\u2019 bout resulted in a solid back and forth affair. Nate Diaz got off to a strong start in the opening round, but \u2018El Cucuy\u2019 battled back in rounds two and three to make things interesting. Then, in round four, Diaz found a home for a barrage of punches which led to \u2018El Cucuy\u2019 shooting desperately for a takedown. Nate quickly jumped on a guillotine choke and the fight was over seconds later.<\/p>\n

\"Nate<\/p>\n

During his post-victory interview with UFC commentator Joe Rogan, Nate Diaz decided to take a parting shot at his longtime rival in Conor McGregor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to get out of the UFC for a minute and show all these UFC fighters how to take over and own up another sport how you\u2019re supposed to do it. Cause Conor McGregor didn\u2019t know how to do it. None of these other fighters know how to do it. So I\u2019m going to go out there and I\u2019m going take over another profession and become the best at that. Show everybody I\u2019m the best at that and then I\u2019m going to be right the f**k back here to get a motherf**king UFC title. The best title in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those comments obviously didn\u2019t sit well with Conor McGregor, as the Irishman issued the following response on Twitter<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Ah come on bro I\u2019m absolutely stinking. And with so much quality. This has never been seen before what I\u2019m doing man. Please, Your nothing with out me. Respect, please. I\u2019d slap you around handy. And Tony easy. I\u2019d have sawed Tony in half. 2 ham ball heads.
Respect the king. https:\/\/t.co\/41DMLdUIDn<\/a><\/p>\n
