McGregor and Poirier are set to collide for a third time on July 10 at UFC 264, this after splitting their first two encounters.

Ahead of the highly anticipated trilogy, which sold out in just seconds, Conor McGregor took to Twitter where he suggested that the UFC create two new belts for the blockbuster fight.

”Let’s do two belts actually UFC. Champ Champ always does two. We’ve got “The McGregor Belt” currently in creation, and now we’ve got the all new “RMF” belt.
“The Richest Motherfucker Belt”.
This way we can put both the rubies and the emeralds to good use.”

Nate Diaz came across McGregor’s online request and responded with the following take.

”UFC go ahead and make this lil bitch a belt or 2 with rubies or whatever he wants on it i think he really needs it. I need his confidence hi so he can do well so go ahead and make the belt if you would like too. And go out there and gettem champ..”

Diaz and McGregor of course have a long and storied rivalry having fought two times in the past at UFC 196 and UFC 202.
