"I'll crack open the tub of tofu" - Conor McGregor jokingly invites Nate Diaz to The Black Forge Inn; takes a jab at his vegan lifestyle
Ever since Conor McGregor expressed interest in running it back with Nate Diaz, the long-time rivals are back at it. The beef between them has often led to extremely amusing conversations on social media. McGregor recently offered Diaz a tofu dinner at his pub, poking fun at Diaz's plant-based lifestyle.
In a recent tweeting spree, both Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz set out to antagonize each other once again. Diaz took a shot at McGregor by posting a picture of Ido Portal, a movement coach with whom Conor McGregor used to train.
@TheNotoriousMMA What where’s your friend ? https://t.co/jvjf2XvQaz
The post highlighted Portal's reluctance to train with vegans, prompting a retort from the Irishman. In his tweet, McGregor extended Diaz an invitation to dine with him at The Black Forge Inn, before taking a veiled dig at his dietary choices.
"[Nate Diaz] he’s [at The Black Forge Inn] having a steak on the stone and a glass of [Proper No. Twelve whiskey] on the rocks. You are more than welcome, I’ll crack open the tub of tofu hahahaa," wrote Conor McGregor on Twitter.
@NateDiaz209 😂😂 he’s at @blackforgeinn having a steak on the stone and a glass of @ProperWhiskey on the rocks. You are more than welcome, I’ll crack open the tub of tofu hahahaa
Their spat on Twitter has seemingly birthed one of the unlikeliest of alliances in the UFC between Khamzat Chimaev and Conor McGregor.
