“Conor McGregor, you’re taking everything I worked for, mother f*cker. I’m gonna fight your f*cking ass. You know what’s the real fight, what’s the real money fight - me. Not these clowns that you already punked at the press conference. Ain’t nobody wants to see that. You know you can beat them already. It’s an easy fight. You want the real sh*t. Right here.”
Diaz wasn’t done, but the FOX officials weren’t pleased courtesy the barrage of f-bombs that Diaz was spewing, so he had to be cut off! Nevertheless, the rant was typically reminiscent of an Attitude Era call-out! A few months later, Diaz got what he wished for as he faced McGregor in place of an injured Rafael dos Anjos and picked up the win!
