It would have been difficult for Conor McGregor to put on a more perfect performance than he did against Donald Cerrone.
In 40 seconds’ time, McGregor (22-4 MMA, 10-2 UFC) demolished the UFC’s all-time fight and finishes leader in Cerrone (36-14 MMA, 23-11 UFC) by TKO.
While most of the world was in awe, one man not impressed was Nate Diaz.
Shortly after the conclusion of the fight, the two-time McGregor opponent took to Twitter in a fashion only he could manage to put forth. The string of tweets took shots at McGregor’s performance – as well as Jorge Masvidal’s cageside attire.
Diaz’s tweet-a-palooza kicked off with a jab at Cerrone’s laundry list of UFC records, which Bruce Buffer referenced in the pre-fight introductions.
When McGregor finished Cerrone in 40 seconds, Diaz voiced his immediate reaction. “Weak as f*ck,” he tweeted.
As McGregor celebrated his victory on the microphone, the camera panned to Masvidal. Diaz’s response poked fun at Masvidal’s attire – a Versace bathrobe.
Finally, the former UFC lightweight title challenger decided to add a little more of his signature Diaz seasoning.
Diaz and McGregor met twice in 2016. At UFC 196, Diaz turned the MMA world on its head when he submitted McGregor as a short-notice replacement. At UFC 202, McGregor got his revenge when he defeated Diaz by majority decision.
UFC 246 took place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card aired on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on UFC Fight Pass/ESPN+.
