As noted, reigning UFC Featherweight Champion Conor McGregor responded to a photo that showed his originally scheduled UFC 200 opponent, Nate Diaz, looking much larger than himself.
The photo was posted by Front Row Brian, who also commented that because of Diaz’s size, McGregor should go back down to 145 pounds. McGregor responded with the following comment:
McGregor would go on to reply, “I love it! Adapt and overcome. I am coming in light and lean for my rematch and I will school this boy to the bell.”
Since then, “The Notorious” one has gone on a bit of a Twitter rant, making more posts and comments than he has since the entire UFC 200 situation broke out.

No. Last time I was eating four breakfasts and a dessert on the day of weigh in.
You will see.
You will all see. https://t.co/zfhFLEqEcA— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 2, 2016
On the floor he was swept and controlled.
When the tank goes, no amount of skill can save you.

I respect the endurance athlete. A game of will.
But those who simply take part, will always be taken over. https://t.co/bysnazDaAT— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 2, 2016
I do not. I had the May/Pac record primed, ready to place MMA at the undisputed top. But it was not to be. #Press https://t.co/rmCxw6DX7y

He has made more excuses for the first 8 minutes of our fight than I have made for the last 2 minutes of our fight. https://t.co/pukpqnF1YJ

I look forward to my end of year unification bout. But like I said before.
These featherweights don't understand… https://t.co/LzHsGsQP75— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 2, 2016
It is not safe to say. It is fact to say.
I hold PPV, Gate, TV, Fightpass and Embedded record.
Even Title fight KO. https://t.co/nqwoQSap9A— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 2, 2016
Incorrect. I beat it by 400,000 buys.
Which alone was 100,000 more buys than UFC 197 made IN TOTAL. #KillShot https://t.co/HzidAJQ3Iu— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 2, 2016
