Conor McGregor claims he's "just a great martial arts actor" in latest Twitter spat with Nate Diaz
A recent Twitter exchange between arch-rivals Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz suggests that there is no love lost between the two combatants. Additionally, the Irishman hailed himself as "a great martial arts actor" whilst doubling down on his commitment to complete the trilogy against Diaz.
Conor McGregor went on a fresh Twitter spree earlier today, aiming potshots at Dustin Poirier and Nate Diaz. There has been plenty of speculation about a third bout between Diaz and McGregor, as their first two bouts were two of the most lucrative in UFC history. Both combatants have since been approving of the idea of a trilogy.
Congrats Nate Diaz on making it to the end of his contractual obligations with the UFC, and as a bonafide superstar goer. An incredible feat. Fair play.
Our trilogy will happen.
Addressing the trilogy in his latest Twitter rant, McGregor claimed that he would settle his unfinished business with Poirier, who he sees as a "handier fight."
Furthermore, the ever-critical MMA star, who's geared towards making his acting debut with the Hollywood cult classic Road House, hailed himself as a "great martial arts actor" while also bragging about his wealth outside fighting:
"Public translate: I’m fighting you too. But I will bury him quick first. Way handier fight/her knickers/More recent story line etc. If he bottles it, it’s you. I’m also in Amsterdam, weeds great, and I’m not a bad guy I’m just a great martial arts actor with boat loads of money."
