UFC lightweight Nate Diaz wants his fellow professionals to start firing back at Conor McGregor’s trash talk.
The Notorious verbally assaulted pretty much every other fighter at the GO Big event in Vegas, but lightweights Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone and Rafael dos Anjos probably got the worst of it.
McGregor branded the 155 lb division the “stick in the mud division,” and suggested Dos Anjos and Cerrone would happily pull out of their title fight for the chance to take him on inside the Octagon.
“I’d change your bum life. I could make you rich. You fight me? It’s a celebration. ‘Conor McGregor made us rich. Break out the red panties.’
“Don’t say you wouldn’t take that fight because you would, just like everyone else up here. Regardless of belts or any of that shit. I’m the money fight in the male shit in all divisions so fuck everybody else up here.”
Dos Anjos kept his trap shut after being insulted but Cerrone decided to respond with venom.
“Of course, we get out here and and he wants to run his mouth. It’s good, he sells the fights, but if he comes to 155 I’m going to bend his little ass over and knock the fucking “Lucky Charms” out of him.”
Former lightweight contender Nate Diaz was not a fan of the manner in which either fighter responded.
@Cowboycerrone @RdosAnjosMMA lames you should've stepped up in that press conference instead you both got punked out like some #bitches..

Looks like someone’s gunning for a title shot of their own.
