Conor McGregor Comments On Nate Diaz Rematch, If UFC 200 Will Break Records Without Him
Conor McGregor tweets and makes headlines. Sound familiar? It's become standard procedure at this point. Conor McGregor tweeted three weeks ago that he was retiring, only to be pulled from his planned UFC 200 bout against Nate Diaz. Needless to say, he isn't happy about it.
McGregor took to Twitter this afternoon to voice his frustration, and say that he's approaching his re-match with Diaz much differently, whenever it may be. He noted that his eating habits weren't the best going into the fight, and instead he'll go in light.
McGregor also mentioned that Diaz had made excuses for his performance during the first 8 minutes of the fight and that he would control the Stockton native on the ground. McGregor was in full 'Notorious' mode during the Twitter rant.
Answering several questions, Conor said that he holds virtually every UFC record, even claiming that he beat UFC 100's pay-per-view record. His sights were set on the Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao mark, which was over four million buys last year.

I love it! Adapt and overcome.
I am coming in light and lean for my rematch and I will school this boy to the bell. https://t.co/MjEwxokIYK? Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 2, 2016
No. Last time I was eating four breakfasts and a dessert on the day of weigh in.
You will see.
You will all see. https://t.co/zfhFLEqEcA? Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 2, 2016
On the floor he was swept and controlled.
When the tank goes, no amount of skill can save you.
You will see. https://t.co/vJP4k4qzwX? Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 2, 2016
I respect the endurance athlete. A game of will.
But those who simply take part, will always be taken over. https://t.co/bysnazDaAT? Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 2, 2016
I do not. I had the May/Pac record primed, ready to place MMA at the undisputed top. But it was not to be. #Press https://t.co/rmCxw6DX7y

He has made more excuses for the first 8 minutes of our fight than I have made for the last 2 minutes of our fight. https://t.co/pukpqnF1YJ

I look forward to my end of year unification bout. But like I said before.
These featherweights don't understand... https://t.co/LzHsGsQP75? Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 2, 2016
It is not safe to say. It is fact to say.
I hold PPV, Gate, TV, Fightpass and Embedded record.
Even Title fight KO. https://t.co/nqwoQSap9A? Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 2, 2016
Incorrect. I beat it by 400,000 buys.
Which alone was 100,000 more buys than UFC 197 made IN TOTAL. #KillShot https://t.co/HzidAJQ3Iu? Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 2, 2016
