This summer, Conor McGregor will have his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier in the main event of UFC 264. But despite McGregor rematching a man who just cold-knocked him out, that doesn’t mean “Notorious” Not having enough it’s time to keep another trilogy fight alive: his rivalry with Nate Diaz.
Last week on social media, McGregor suggested that the UFC create two specialty belts for him, the “McGregor Belt” and the “Richest ***** Belt”. Diaz took the opportunity to poke fun at McGregor about the request and that shot apparently fell under the skin of the former two-division champion as McGregor on Sunday accused Nate Diaz of taking PEDs.
Usada tested me just before that. Blood and urine. It’s twice this week. I don’t blame them, I’m an animal. What bothers me if there is never an announcement of captured athletes ever again? It means –
1. They can remain silent.

.@JeffNovitzkyUFC how is it that the public is no longer informed of positive tests? How after Nate Diaz’s steroid debacle, where he produced his own multivitamin-tainted nutrition companies, was instantly wiped out before a mega battle for money, are we now in the dark about test results?

“Everyone takes steroids” – Nathan Diaz, steroid user
– Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) April 18, 2021
McGregor’s claim is not entirely without merit. In 2019, Diaz had an unwanted result in a pre-fight drug test before his fight with Jorge Masvidal for the “Baddest Motherf ***** Belt”. However, Diaz was cleared of any wrongdoing almost immediately, and in fact, it was Diaz who publicly revealed the issue. Still, that didn’t stop McGregor from defeating the entire USADA program of the UFC, to which UFC Vice President Jeff Novitzky responded.
Anyway, thanks for clearing this up for me Jeff, the silence makes perfect sense. Also where is my usada jacket over 50 clean tests completed that i see everyone getting?

Novitzky was not the only one responding to McGregor’s claims, however. Diaz, of course, also hit back, mocking McGregor again, this time for losing to him. From there, a back-and-forth series began with Diaz taking photos at McGregor’s home fitness program, McGregorFast and McGregor plugging in his program and again accusing Diaz of using steroids.

I mean the way this guy talked to T-wood makes my skin crawl. All of these kids are going to be taught a lesson I swear. And I can’t wait for it @JLeonLove you can’t fight. Better respect guys like @TWooodley before he puts his hand on you. It’s not Ben!

Begging so hard to get a gig from your hooker. You try to fight everyone BUT me! When you realize that I am not with the child’s play, you froze like winter and you started to stutter! Do you want real smoke or do you want to keep stuffing your bitch ass disk? https://t.co/rk4mf15KML

Mike Perry.
I will work on my boxing consistently and look forward to the opportunity to demonstrate

I was asking @jakepaul and his team to help me be awesome. We fought 6 rounds. The 5th and 6th runs were my best runs. He caught up with me at the start and then I made the adjustments. I have come to get rid of me, my daughter and my baby.
– Platinum Mike Perry (@PlatinumPerry) April 18, 2021
Man, are you unreal, should I beat him easily? Smh the guy can box. He’s got a great team and he punched me in the face a few times and I started to get him back as it progressed. I talk about him because they raised me. How do you all live with yourselves?
– Platinum Mike Perry (@PlatinumPerry) April 18, 2021
The respect.
Masterful performance @robwhittakermma
Nothing but respect for you!
God bless you and your family, great dawg! All my wishes– # OnAmission4Gold (@KelvinGastelum) April 19, 2021
Classify.
The best thing you can do is lead by example.
It won’t always be easy, the odds might be stacked against you and you might not win but you don’t give up.

Thank you @triller and @usscunningham for the occasion, I loved every minute of it. pic.twitter.com/wi2B340PrA– Frank Mir (@thefrankmir) April 18, 2021
Regarding the comment during my fight last night.
I could be angry and laugh too but addiction is no joke I know.
I sincerely hope that the people around Oscar will give him the help he needs. He was a great champion and ambassador of boxing. I would like to think it can be again. pic.twitter.com/mXihmyOI0l– Frank Mir (@thefrankmir) April 18, 2021
Trying.
@stylebender wassup little guy ready to go ?? Are you still feeding your dog bananas with your own mouth? It’s because I would like to break all of your teeth so you can do this even better.
I can’t hide forever it’s inevitable– Marvin Vettori (@MarvinVettori) April 19, 2021
Reasonable.
Am I the only one who isn’t offended by all this trashy talk from Jake Paul about him and his team?
All these MMA fighters are so hurt by what he’s doing,
Hahahahaha sensitive little souls.
I can see past all the bullshit.
It’s all over, relax everyone.
How can you all be– D (@ darrentill2) April 18, 2021
Hard but being hurt by all this chatter?
Same for Colby’s number, I love it.
It’s bravado and at the moment everything is great for the new eyes that are coming into our sport.
I’d like to think the fight hasn’t been settled, I don’t think so.
So what did he do to Ben– D (@ darrentill2) April 18, 2021
Phil hawes (10-2) against Kyle daukaus (10-1); UFC Fight Night, May 8.
A lot of people hated it, and it’s definitely not for everyone, but Triller was largely fun as hell in the most absurd way. Like FightCircus with a big budget.
Thanks for reading and see you tomorrow.
