Conor McGregor and his internet rivals, the Paul brothers, recently got together at Donald Trump‘s inauguration ceremony. It was a shocking collaboration, given the history both parties have had over the years. As expected, there were some banter and some sneaky jabs, which entertained the fighting community.
Ahead of this meeting, McGregor had talked about fighting Logan Paul in a combined $500 million mega-fight in India. In a viral video from the meeting, ‘The Notorious’ was seen criticizing Paul for not selling the fight enough. UFC legend Nate Diaz recently reacted to the video and shared his views while backing his former rival.

After leaving the UFC, Diaz has tried his luck in boxing and has already fought Jake Paul. However, he lost the fight lost via decision. Since then, he’s been eyeing a rematch against the younger Paul. In the past, he has also shared his intentions to fight McGregor in their much-anticipated trilogy fight.
