McGregor: His wrist will never be the same
“The Notorious” Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz have continued swapping verbal tirades after their tension-filled face-off at the UFC 196 presser.
A free-for-all nearly erupted at the press conference when McGregor slapped away Diaz’s fist, which the latter aimed directly at the Irishman’s face during their staredown.
Diaz’s crew quickly jumped on the stage to confront McGregor but UFC officials, together with a couple of policemen, stepped in to defuse the tension.
"The man was afraid to look me dead in the eye," said McGregor during their appearance on FOX sports 1 as reported by MMA Fighting. "So he put a frame out in front of him and I quickly snatched it and broke his wrist.”
"The medics are in with him now," he added. "His wrist will never be the same. Like his bum knee, like his bum leg."
Diaz just shrugged off McGregor's attempt to slap his hand away.
"Yeah, you got a scared little [expletive] shot on the hand and [expletive]," he said.
Diaz then blasted McGregor for his status, claiming that he was born rich unlike most fighter.
"You're a rich kid," the fighter from Stockton, California said. "Rich kids shouldn't fight ever. Real people fight. Real people fight. Not [expletive] rich kids. You were born rich."
McGregor railed back.
"[Expletive] you, you don't know me," said McGregor. "You don't know where the [expletive] I came from. I'll ride into Stockton and take everyone out. Bunch of snitches in Stockton. I never heard of Stockton in my life."
Diaz also mentioned McGregor’s career defeats, which he claimed came in the hands of sub-par ground fighters.
"You got choked out by two nobodies," he said. "You were submitted by lames not even that long ago, it was like a week ago."
