Immediately after Diego Sanchez emerged victorious by the disqualification of Michel Pereira, Conor McGregor took to twitter to craft a strange response.

Seems like McGregor is calling Diego Sanchez out yet again. He had done so earlier in 2013. But why would McGregor post such a thing when everyone knows he is waiting for Khabib Nurmagomedov? For those who don’t know, McGregor had called Sanchez out way back in the day in 2013.

McGregor mentioned earlier that he likes easy money. Perhaps that is the reason behind this call-out. Diego Sanchez certainly didn’t give his best performance, even though he won.
