According to Nate Diaz, something was fishy about some of the pre-fight trash-talk between himself and “The Notorious” Conor McGregor leading up to their UFC 196 mega-fight earlier this month.
Diaz appeared on FOX Sports’ “The Buzz” on Wednesday and claimed that it seemed like “a lot of scripted stuff was going on.”
“It seemed like a lot of scripted stuff was going on,” Diaz said. “Maybe he was serious about what he was saying, but it sounded like some bullsh*t to me.”
Regardless of whether or not McGregor’s pre-fight trash-talk was scripted or not, Diaz knew the two would eventually share the Octagon together and because of his training, Diaz was confident that it was in the cage where he would shine.
“No matter what people say, no matter if he’s winning the argument battles or losing the argument battles … at the end of the day we’re still gonna get in there and fight,” Diaz said. “I know what I train with and what I work with and what he’s working with. And yeah.”
Although the UFC has yet to officially announce the rematch, Diaz-McGregor II is expected to be announced as the main event of UFC 200 on July 9, 2016 at the new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
