Conor McGregor called himself 'The GOAT,' ordered himself 'a big blunt' to go with his morning coffee and reflected on his biggest victory, all while analysing UFC 277 during a bizarre five minute Twitter rant.
In the voice clip, which runs at five minutes and fifteen seconds, McGregor rambles aimlessly about a whole host of different topics. In one of 'The Notorious' more interesting points, he explains how he feels that the Amanda Nunes and Julianna Pena rivalry is eerily similar to his rivalry with Stockton's favourite son Nate Diaz.
McGregor and Diaz famously fought each other on two occasions, with the American submitting 'Mystic Mac' in the second round of their first fight in early 2016. Later that year at UFC 202, McGregor eked out a majority decision win in an all-time classic bout.
"It's mad to me the similarity of last night's ladies' bantamweight world title fight rematch to mine with Diaz," McGregor noted in a lengthy voice message to fans on Twitter.
"The McGregor-Diaz fights. Fight No.1; a highly-touted, the GOAT [Greatest of All Time] of the sport, me and Amanda Nunes. Sheer toughness, willingness to fight and caught off guard, we eat a couple of shots, give a couple of shots, then eats a couple of shots and the tide turns and then gets choked."
McGregor noted that not only were the first fights very similar, but so too was the rematch. Pena tapped out Nunes in the first bout but it was Nunes who exacted her revenge with a decision win last night.
"Now the return, the rematch," he continued. "Confidence on the other side, tenacity and toughness, all of that is still there, more focused work on Nunes and my side.
"Now I'm neither 'side', I'm a fan of both women, a huge fan of both of those women' Amanda Nunes and Julianna Pena, and everyone who steps inside that f***ing octagon and makes the walk, to be honest.
"The original bout had 'I'm not surprised motherf***ers,' [Diaz's famous first words in his post-fight interview]. Then again, Julianna says it and then the fight goes the exact same way in the second fight.
"They're dropped multiple times, better prepared, cracks the shots, gets the drop multiple times, but then the toughness is just still there, still in Amanda's face, still in my face, some fights they are. They're iconic Mixed Martial Arts bouts that we're all lucky to witness and it's a mad ol' scene."
McGregor also checked in on Anthony Smith, who broke his leg in his undercard bout with Magomed Ankalaev, similarly to his own in his trilogy with Dustin Poirier last summer at UFC 264. He also praised Brandon Moreno for his knockout win over Kai Kara-France.
"Congrats to all the great goers out there, it was a great watch and I enjoyed it thoroughly," McGregor said before declaring that he had enjoyed a "fresh kill" for breakfast on his plush Lamborghini yacht. "Coffee is en route, few hits of a blunt, big blunts!" he added.
McGregor ended his rant by saying that he would see us 'real soon.' With coach John Kavanagh on the record about wanting to see McGregor back in the octagon before 2022 is through, perhaps the return of the Mac isn't too far away.
