UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor has proven to be one of the most active fighters recently, at least on social media. ‘The Notorious’ has been appealing his removal from UFC 200 since a number of strange events led to him being pulled from his rematch with Nate Diaz. It’s all spiralled in to a very strange stand off between McGregor and the UFC, after refusing to attend the initial press conference for the July 9 PPV bonanza, the brash Irishman has been arguing the toss with the promotion over his contractual stipulations.

Taking to Twitter this week once again, McGregor went on a tirade like few before hi. We are used to seeing ‘The Notorious’ talk trash to his opponents, but this time he was arguing with his followers social media. In a number of veiled insults to Jon Jones, Nate Diaz, Floyd Mayweather and the UFC McGregor came across as frustrated to say the least.

Amid all this madness, Nate Diaz remained typically cool headed, simply using the term ‘white belt’ when Conor McGregor claimed he ‘controlled and swept’ Diaz on the ground at UFC 196. The irony in the fact Diaz submitted McGregor in the firs ground exchange is more than apparent.

So where is Conor McGregor’s head right now? In the clouds, or consumed by his pride perhaps? The truth is, now that he isn’t communicating aside from social media and is on the UFC’s naughty list, we don’t really know. In new training footage it looks a lot like ‘The Notorious’ is still training for UFC 200.

Now he’s gone one step further, making a bold prediction for the rematch with Diaz…

Wow, Nate Diaz also blasts Conor McGregor’s haters and the trolls…

For those of you that thought the heated rivalry between Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor was still burning, this recent interview might change your mind. We are just 11 days removed from the madness of UFC 196, and the blockbuster pay-per-view card from Las Vegas, Nevada is still making front page news. The UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor faced Nate Diaz in the main event of the evening, and it was more spectacular than any of us could’ve imagined.

To the surprise of many of ‘The Notorious” fan base, the Irish boxer was not able to take Diaz out in the first round as he’d predicted. The chin of the Stockton Jiu Jitsu ace proved steadfast, and by round two it was clear who was going home with the victory. For the first time in McGregor’s UFC career, he was in serious trouble, and Diaz’s combinations began clipping the jaw on a regular basis.

As UFC commentator Mike Goldberg might say, Diaz smelled the opening, and he wasn’t going to let McGregor off the hook. All the trash talk and mentions of ‘snitches in Stockton’ had clearly put wind in the sails of Diaz, and it wasn’t long before his own predictions began to come true. Everyone becomes a wrestler once they get hit, and McGregor did just that, shooting in for an ill fated takedown on the superior grappler. This marked the end of the fight before it had even happened.

The subsequent ground and pound from the mount, attempt to escape by McGregor, and Diaz sinking in the rear naked choke from the back was elementary.

For once it was Conor McGregor on the receiving end of the taunts inside the octagon, he was a broken man, and Nate Diaz’s corner were letting him know this throughout the final moments of the fight. As the featherweight champion tapped out, it was clear that welterweight was not the place for him, and that Diaz’s Jiu Jitsu was simply superb. We also saw a huge backlash in the form of hateful memes and a strange scrutiny of McGregor for tapping out rather than going to sleep.

Conor McGregor didn’t spend a lot of time talking about the MMA award he had won, but took a moment to fire some shots at UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum…

UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor is on fire right now. Having destroyed his bitter rival Jose Aldo at UFC 194 after a year long rivalry, he now moves up to lightweight to take on the king of the 155-pound division Rafael dos Anjos. He didn’t waste any time in throwing out some crazy statements about his new Brazilian foe, going as far as accusing RDA of being a traitor to his country, and saying he would behead the lightweight boss at UFC 196 (originally 197).

UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum, training partner of dos Anjos at Kings MMA in Brazil, didn’t take too kindly to McGregor’s brash behaviour at the event’s presser. He reacted by saying he would slap ‘The Notorious One’ if he behaved that way in his presence, and a new rivalry with another Brazilian champion was born, then came the injuries.

It seems every interview or moment in the limelight is big news when Conor McGregor is involved, and even ‘Vai Cavalo’ who is 110 pounds heavier is drawn in to beef with the Irishman. Even though they’ll likely never fight, it hasn’t stopped the rivalry between the two champions growing. After Werdum and Velasquez both pulled out of their title rematch set for today (February 6, 2016) and the entire UFC schedule was pulled back one number, McGregor had a classic response for the stricken champ of the heavys.
