Conor McGregor fires back at Jake Paul over \u201cgarbage\u201d Nate Diaz fight Esther Lin\/Most Valuable PromotionsConor McGregor isn\u2019t one to shy away from a Twitter war, and the recent victory of Jake Paul over Nate Diaz has roused him into action once again. Responding to Paul\u2019s dismissive remarks about him, McGregor blasted the YouTuber-turned-boxer\u2019s performance against Nate Diaz in a fiery series of tweets that have since been deleted. The Irishman not only dished out his signature insults but also indicated his readiness for a trilogy bout with Diaz. \u201cI gonna serve up your liver on a sandwich in the trilogy [mate]. Out straight. I won\u2019t even hit [your] face. That was abysmal last night. Paul is a re**rd. Absolute garbage he is. Moving backwards like I was watching a fight in rewind. Holy garbage. Embarrassing stuff all around,\u201d McGregor posted. In another now-deleted tweet, alongside a snapshot from his fight with Floyd Mayweather, he added: \u201cMe watching that garbage last night. Wtf. P*** and S*** in a ring.\u201d This exchange comes on the heels of Jake Paul\u2019s post-fight press conference, where he ruled out any potential future bout with McGregor, a statement that seems to have sparked this retaliation. After triumphing over Diaz in Dallas via unanimous decision, \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 appeared uninterested in a match-up with the Irish MMA legend. \u201cI don\u2019t care about that guy [Conor McGregor],\u201d Paul stated, drawing attention to McGregor\u2019s recent struggles. \u201cHe needs to go to rehab. I want Nate in MMA. I want more professional boxers and I want Canelo.\u201d Instead, Paul offered up a rematch to Diaz, this time in MMA, following a $10 million offer to make his MMA debut. McGregor wasn\u2019t the only one to criticize Paul\u2019s performance against the former UFC contender. KSI also trashed Paul\u2019s victory, tweeting: \u201cThat Jake Paul performance was terrible. October 14th you get to watch a real fight and challenge.\u201d Whether Paul\u2019s swift dismissal of a potential McGregor face-off is a strategic move or an honest expression of disinterest remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
