After defeating Michael Johnson at UFC on Fox 17, Nate Diaz called out featherweight champion Conor McGregor in no uncertain terms.
As Joe Rogan congratulated him on a big win and asked him for a few comments, Diaz went on a foul-mouthed tirade, targeting McGregor.
"Conor McGregor, you're taking everything I worked for motherf***er," said Diaz. "I'm gonna fight your f***in ass. You know what's the real fight, what's the real money fight, it's me, not these clowns that you already punked at the press conference.
"Don't no one want to see that, you know you beat them already, that's the easy fight. You want that real s**t right here".
He did try to get back on the mic to add a little bit more to what he had already said, but Joe Rogan was pretty clear that there was no way he'd be let speak on live TV again.
Despite Diaz claiming that the fight would be what people really wanted, Coach John Kavanagh made it clear that Diaz wouldn't do very well in a matchup against McGregor.
Absorbing that many shots would make it a very very short night if he was to meet a real hitter #BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor

With the belt around his waist now, the new undisputed featherweight champion will have to get used to being called out on every occasion going, as fighters look to get themselves a headline matchup against him.
Judging by his latest tweet, however, the champ isn't too concerned with those who have been calling him out to get themselves into the headlines.
