Nate Diaz appeared to criticise Conor McGregor in a series of cryptic tweets on Saturday night, after “The Notorious” flattened Donald Cerrone in just 40 seconds.

“Weak as f***,” tweeted Diaz. “This s*** is all fake.”

McGregor’s return at UFC 246 was decisive, to say the least. And he seemed more than open to a long-awaited trilogy bout with Diaz, after splitting one win apiece at 170 pounds in 2016.

“Nate has his own little thing, it’s a mad scene,” McGregor said, commenting on Diaz’s tweets, at the post-event press conference at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

“Let’s go, Nathan. Let’s go brother. Number three. It’s always here. So we’re right here Nathan.”
