What did Conor McGregor say about the Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz boxing match?

Ahead of the boxing match between Jake Paul and Nate Diaz, Conor McGregor predicted a win in his old rival's favor. Unfortunately, his prediction proved incorrect, as 'The Problem Child' triumphed over the Stockton MMA cult icon via unanimous decision. McGregor, however, was not impressed.

In a series of since-deleted tweets, 'The Notorious' lambasted the performance of both men, and was especially critical of Diaz's tendency to take breaks mid-fight by walking away from his opponent, pointing and showboating. His criticisms, however, drew a fiery response from Paul.

'The Problem Child' brought up the litany of controversies the Irishman has found himself in throughout the years, and even accused him of both steroid and recreational drug use.
