Conor McGregor labels Nate Diaz's boxing abilities 'p ***'' compared to brother Nick, and goesads rival with the statement 'I made it'

CONOR McGREGOR claimed that Nate Diaz's boxing skills were 'p ***'' compared to Nick's, and he lied to him by saying 'I made it'.

McGregor was filled with praises for Nick, who returned to UFC after six years. However, he was defeated in round three by Robbie Lawler.

Stockton's veteran boxer had been putting on an intense display of boxing and landing combinations, as well as body shots, up until the end.

McGregor, who beat Nick's younger brother Nate by a 2-1 decision in 2016, was praised online for his victory.

He also took the opportunity to poke fun at Nate, fuelling speculation about a three-fight series between them.

McGregor, 33, tweeted, "Nate, your boxing skills are inferior to those of nicks." Your sloppy shots have been feeding us garbage for the past few years.

"Can clearly see the difference between the brothers after last night. Balance and composure. The big bro is now on to you. "I made you."

McGregor was defeated by Nate (36 years old) at UFC 196. He had less than two weeks notice.

The result was avenged five month later at UFC 202 in a five-round classic. Fans have been waiting for a trifecta decider ever since.

Nate, who was last defeated by Leon Edwards (30), a British welterweight, wants to make a comeback in December.

McGregor is currently recovering from a fractured tibia sustained against Dustin Poirier (32), in July.

Poirier was the first to be beaten by the Irishman back in 2014. He won the rematch in January, and the trio by doctor's stoppage.

McGregor hopes to make a comeback next season after undergoing surgery for the injury.
