McGregor calls out Diaz after ‘nonsense’ Jake Paul fight and slams Chandler

CONOR MCGREGOR has set his sights on a trilogy bout with Nate Diaz after slamming Jake Paul and Michael Chandler in the process.

The Irishman shared two epic battles with Diaz in 2016, with both one apiece, but the decider has failed to come to fruition.

Now Diaz, 38, is out of the UFC and makes his boxing debut this weekend in Texas against YouTuber-turned prizefighter Paul, 26.

But McGregor is no fan of the bout and instead insisted he will once again share the cage with Diaz.

And he promised to do so with the “Baddest Mother F***er” belt Justin Gaethje won against Dustin Poirer.

McGregor, 34, tweeted: “Regardless of that nonsense match me and Nate will be completing the trilogy.

“I am going to go grab that bmf belt right quick for us to compete for it in the trilogy.”

McGregor has not returned since breaking his leg in the first round of his trilogy bout against Poirier in July 2021.

But he is due to face Chandler, 37, in his comeback after the two coached on The Ultimate Fighter against each other.

McGregor is meant to complete six months worth of United States Anti-Doping Agency tests before being eligible to fight again.

But having not yet entered the pool, it leaves the fight hanging in the balance.

And after Gaethje, 34, knocked Poirier, also 34, out with a headkick to win the BMF belt, he was called out by McGregor.

The former two-weight UFC champion has also distanced himself further from his TUF coaching rival.

He tweeted: “F*** Chandler.”
