CONOR MCGREGOR furiously retaliated against Nate Diaz, after the UFC favorite claimed that his opponent "didn’t know how” to take over another sport.
They shared two great fights in 2016, before the Notorious switched to boxing to face Floyd Mayweather.
Nate Diaz defeated Tony Ferguson at UFC 279
Conor McGregor did not like Diaz's comments
McGregor, 34 years old, took home more than PS100million despite his loss in the tenth round.
Diaz, who beat Tony Ferguson in the last fight of his UFC contract, promised to "takeover" boxing like his old rival.
Stockton's star stated that he wanted to leave the UFC and teach the UFC fighters how they can take over and control another sport.
"Because Conor McGregor did not know how to do this, and neither do any of these fighters.
"So, I'm going to go out and take over another job and be the best at it. Demonstrate to everyone that I am the best at this.
"Boxing, kickboxing and jiu jitsu... If you believe you are the best, you can find all the creme de la creme here. "I'm coming for your."
McGregor did not like the comments and tweeted: "Ah, bro, I'm absolutely stinking. And it's so high quality.
"This is something that has never been done before. Please, You have nothing to do with me.
"Respect, please. I'd slap you around handy. Tony was easy. Tony would have been cut in half. 2 heads of ham balls.
Respect the King
Ferguson was defeated by Diaz, 38, in a fourth round choke. El Cucuy suffered his fifth consecutive loss.
Khamzat Chimaev was due to face him in the last fight of his UFC contract. However, the Swede dramatically lost weight by 7.5lbs.
Instead, Khamzat fought Kevin Holland in catchweight. The American was beaten in less than three minutes and moved to 12-0.
McGregor had, however, been kind to Diaz before last night's fights.
He tweeted: "Congratulations to Nate Diaz for making it to the conclusion of his contractual obligations with UFC and as a bonafide celebrity goer.
"An amazing feat. Fair play.
"Our trilogy will be realized."
However, he was not impressed with Khamzat and said: "My opinion, they should have pulled Khamzat completely from the card.
"Reconfiguring bouts and having a less favourable bout for the failed cutter will only encourage others to follow their lead.
"The smiles on the scale were enough for me. Take the card and be starving. McG UFC."
McGregor and Diaz fought twice in 2016.
McGregor was not impressed by Hamzat Chimaev’s antics.
