UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor had a lkot to say during the UFC 196 pre-fight press conference. Nate Diaz held his own though and now his older brother Nick has responded too…
Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz might well represent the biggest pairing of trash talk artists in mixed martial arts history. The two have a long record of throwing smack talk as well as hard punches at their opponents, and already we’ve got some golden moments fro the eventful UFC 196 presser. The younger of the Diaz brothers and the UFC featherweight champion McGregor traded barbs for around 45 minutes before facing off in an intense staredown.
Now all that’s left is 10 days of madness before they collide in the UFC 196 welterweight main event. In the time between you can expect none stop shots being fired between both camps, and now Nick Diaz has emerged to get his opinion heard. Using his Twitter account, the older of the Diaz brothers posted the following image:
Shots fired! Nick Diaz, also known for his epic trash talk, is expected to make a UFC comeback at some point this year when his ban for an allegedly failed drug test for marijuana is served. Does he make a valid point here? It looked as though McGregor was winning the fist war of words with Nate Diaz, until the Stockton bad boy pulled out some classic lines, including the one pictured above.
With so much on the line for both men, even without a title in sight, you can expect the mind games to only get bigger and more personal as the final days to March 5 count down.
In case you missed it, our in house video editor made this re-enactment of Rafael dos Anjos injuring his foot, and it’s pretty hilarious. Check it out after this cool fan made UFC 196 poster:
