After his defeat to Charles Oliveira, Dustin Poirier looks on
McGregor, a former two-division champ, was one of many keen observers at the tasty 155lb fight. He was not impressed by McGregor's latest performance.
McGregor posted the following tweet in response to Nate Diaz's mocking about his back-toback losses to Poirier: "You lanky string p**s, he got lumped about and got lucky twice.
"That's it. It is what it is. It was an embarrassing night for him.
"That was a closed guard game. What the hell was that? Wow! Shocking.
"All good happy Sat evening horse yupya it’s Proper Twelve day tomorrow, 12/12. Happy New Paddy's Day!
The Notorious said: "Hella times, ahhahahahaa it’s hella times tomorrow in the blackforge inn for Proper Twelve days bro.
"Full of It. Sauce Money. Power. You are the runner-up champ.
"At least you can say that you have a championship weight on the scales. That's at least something.
McGregor lost consecutively to Poirier in January, July and broke his left leg during their trio fight at the T-Mobile Arena.
The former interim champ at 155lb is looking to the Irishman for a fourth matchup. He believes they are destined to be rivals "forever".
Recently, he told BT Sport that he could fight five more times and that he doesn't believe it will ever be settled.
"It's just one rivalry that's going to be forever."

Poirier was crushed by Oliveira's defeat, but he won't rush to make any decisions about his future.
He stated, "I can do whatever I set my mind to. I can fight for another title, and I can continue my streak.
"I can climb and claw my way back to where I want to go.
It's not about what I want, it's how. This is the question I need to ask myself in the mirror.
"Do you want to do it again?" Are you willing to take that same road again?
"And that answer will be in the next couple of days, next few weeks.
"I need to let it go and see what the future holds."
"But if it's my heart and I want to do that, I'll fight for another world title."
