It’s been almost four years since Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz faced each other for the second time in their respective MMA careers at UFC 202. The duo went on to spark one of the biggest rivalries in UFC history after battling each other two times (UFC 196 & UFC 202), and a trilogy fight is yet to materialise. However, that did not stop them from attacking each other verbally on social media. Despite Conor McGregor’s spectacular comeback opposite Donald Cerrone at UFC 246, Nate Diaz went on to slam him on Twitter. After almost three months, Conor McGregor has also fired back at Nate Diaz by trolling him on social media.
