This comment even drew a rueful smile from the defeated Conor McGregor.
Ahead of Nate Diaz’ welterweight fight with McGregor, FOX Sports commentator Jon Anik made a confident bet:
“I’m going to say it here for the masses to hear. I will get the area code ‘209’ tattooed on the inside of my forearm, if Nate Diaz beats Conor McGregor. I got Conor in Round 1.”
Post-fight, Diaz was not going to let him forget it.
The Californian, who submitted McGregor in the second round, wrapped up the final UFC 196 press encounter with this declaration:
“Yo, yo, John Anik better get a motherf*cking 209 tattoo or I’m going to whoop his little ass.”
In fairness to Anik, he looks game.
Looking for the finest tattoo artist in South Florida. All hail Nate Diaz. Honored to pay tribute to the Diaz bros. & an all-time great win.
