Nick Diaz on Conor McGregor: He lost to ‘little Irish land guineas’

Nick Diaz doesn’t think Conor McGregor will ever be the best due to his early career losses in Ireland.

Apparently Nick Diaz doesn’t think too highly of Conor McGregor. That shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, considering McGregor has fought his brother Nate a couple of times and tends to run his mouth now and again. In a recent video interview, Diaz expanded what he thought about the UFC featherweight champion – and let’s just say it’s a very Nick Diaz interview (transcribed by MMA Mania)

“He’s not [great], though. On paper, he’s not. Who are the 145-pound fighters who he beat up? Nobody good, in my opinion. Just a lot of commercials and advertising. How many black belts has he tapped out? When he was talking s**t back-and-forth about fighting Floyd Mayweather…like, you have already lost to two guys who are not on a legitimate level.

“That just tells me, look, you ain’t ever going to be the best. You already lost to two f**king guineas. I ain’t ever losing to somebody who lost to some f**king little Irish land guineas. That’s fact, that’s on paper. And in gym, you can see what kind of work he has put in. He ain’t working with nobody — he ain’t working with no black belts. Has no legitimate trainer.”

I guess he doesn’t know who Gunnar Nelson is, but that’s okay. McGregor takes on Eddie Alvarez for the UFC lightweight title at UFC 205 in November. Diaz is just coming off of a long suspension, but has yet to be booked in a fight.
