McGregor’s demands caught Diaz’s attention, who wasted no time in taking a jab at the Notorious One. Diaz wrote that the UFC should meet the demands of McGregor while referring to him as a "lil b***h". Diaz added that the belts will boost McGregor’s confidence as lost his last bout to Dustin Poirier at UFC 257 and is set to fight the Diamond again on July 10.

Conor McGregor vs Nate Diaz: McGregor on Diaz’s USADA tests

While Conor McGregor didn’t respond to Diaz’s tweet, he eventually took aim at the Stockton Slugger while tweeting about his recent blood and urine tests, done by governing body USADA. In the tweet, Conor McGregor slammed USADA for no longer naming fighters who fail drug tests, claiming that the anti-doping organisation covered Nate Diaz’s steroid-related controversy in 2019. McGregor feels that fighters who tested positive for taking banned substance like steroids are no longer ashamed of their actions as their names were never made public.

In 2019, some traces of banned substances were found in Nate Diaz’s body. However, it was later revealed that the welterweight was a victim of a contaminated supplement. Because of this, he was allowed to fight Jorge Masvidal at UFC 244. Despite this, McGregor believes that the main reason Diaz was given a green light to fight Masvidal was that UFC knew the card would do good business. McGregor then asked Jeff Novitzky, current Senior Vice President of Athlete Health and Performance for the UFC, to explain why the USADA has stopped naming the athlete who tests positive for banned substances.
