Conor McGregor‘s return to the octagon may not be certain but a fan can definitely count on his continuous Twitter banter. The biggest superstar of the UFC is constantly engaged in an altercation with some of the fighters. At the cost of the fighters, Conor McGregor seems to be getting amusement out of the exchanges.

This time, Nate Diaz and Floyd Mayweather are at the end of the tweets sent by ‘The Irishman’. However, he may also be teasing a rematch with the fighters. Much to everyone’s intrigue, the fight may even happen outside the octagon.

It should be taken into consideration that the previous fights with the two fighters earned McGregor some of the highest-grossing pay-per-view numbers in combat sports history. It won’t take a ‘Mystic Mac’ to predict that McGregor will be interested in the rematch with these fighters.

Conor McGregor teases a rematch with Mayweather and Diaz

Nate Diaz teased ‘The Notorious’ for a  rematch to complete the trilogy. However, he added that if their previous match didn’t have submissions, he would knock out the Irish star faster than Floyd Mayweather. To put it into context, Mayweather TKO’d McGregor in the 10th round of their fight (3 minutes per round). However, Nate Diaz beat him in round 2 of a 5-minute-per-round match.

Conor McGregor tweeted in reply to Nate Diaz, “I carried Floyd. Not next time. Like in the pub. One shot. Nighty night I don’t give a rats, U too, 2.” However, McGregor deleted this tweet that thrashed Mayweather and Diaz. Moreover, the former two-division champion has also teased Diaz in a power slap fight.

Moreover, ‘The Irishman’ can also fight at welterweight against Jorge Masvidal, who can pull in some good pay-per-view numbers owing to his star power. The fourth match against Dustin Poirier is also not a bad option for ‘Mystic Mac’ to settle the scores.
