Conor McGregor's team confirmed that 'The Notorious' was arrested on Tuesday by the Irish Police. McGregor's spokesperson Karen Kessler informed ESPN MMA that the former two-division champion was on his way to the gym when he was stopped due to "alleged road traffic violations."

Diaz's comments may also have been directed at Jorge Masvidal, who was arrested by Miami Beach police on Wednesday. 'Gamebred' was seen exiting a police vehicle in handcuffs before quickly entering the jail. Masvidal was arrested on aggravated battery charges after his alleged attack on bitter rival Colby Covington.

Nate Diaz claims he is ready to fight Conor McGregor
Nate Diaz is apparently ready to fight Conor McGregor right now but doesn't think the Irishman is capable. Diaz also believes that McGregor won't be ready to take him on anytime this year. The Stockton native recently directed a series of tweets at McGregor, labeling him "incapable".
Check out the tweets below:
I’ll fight Conor’s dumb asss right now
But he ain’t capable now or this year
Incapable ass 🦵
Diaz also claimed that he has been trying to fight for seven months now and is ready to go.

Earlier this month, Diaz posted a picture with Dustin Poirier claiming to be fight ready but accused the UFC of slow-rolling him.

Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor have previously faced each other on two separate occasions with a 1-1 result. Diaz earned a second-round submission win over the Irishman in their first encounter at UFC 196 and dropped a majority decision in the immediate rematch at UFC 202.
In his most recent outing, Diaz dropped a lopsided unanimous decision against Leon Edwards at UFC 263 in June last year. While Diaz and McGregor may be past their prime, a third outing between the two could potentially be a lucrative payday.
