During today’s UFC 196 press conference, UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor ripped in to Nate Diaz with the following statement: “Now as the fight comes closer Nate is acting like a scared little boy. Trying to pass the spotlight off to big brother Nick. Trying to pass the spotlight off to Gracie. Nate is trying to pass the limelight. That’s what a man does when he’s scared. He shy’s away and tries to pass it on. So that’s what you’re seeing with Nate. He’s talked a lot previous, saying he’s going to do this and going to do that.

He has a bully mentality until a real man shows up. Like Mike Tyson said, ‘He’s scared of the real man!’”
