“Moving Backwards Like I Was Watching a Fight in Rewind”: After Jake Paul’s Cheeky Advice, Conor McGregor Lashes Out at the 26-Year-Old’s Fight Against Nate Diaz

The reverberations of the recently concluded match between Nate Diaz and Jake Paul are far from over. Despite the fact that the official bout has long ended. In a fiery analysis, Conor McGregor, the Irish UFC superstar, offered his reaction, draping the fight and its participants in a less-than-glorifying light.

His remarks that he shared on X (formerly Twitter), which have now been deleted, have sparked a fresh wave of discussions revolving around this already provocative event. The highly anticipated event also marked Diaz’s venture into boxing territory.

McGregor minced no words in expressing his dissatisfaction with the fight. He painted a vividly critical picture of the bout and addressed Jake Paul’s performance. McGregor also took to the social media platform to bash UFC veteran Nate Diaz.

The comments came in response to a tweet by ESPN MMA lauding him. Known for his energetic style and aggressive tactics inside the Octagon, McGregor couldn’t fathom Paul’s relatively passive strategy during the match.

In a now-deleted tweet, Conor McGregor lashed out against Jake Paul. “Absolute garbage he is. Moving backwards like I was watching a fight in rewind. Holy garbage”. His comments reflect a deep disappointment with the performance levels exhibited in the fight.

McGregor’s disillusionment with what he considered a lackluster match paints a stark picture. The rant departed significantly from the typical dance of punches and jabs that fans often speak of long after the fight. The Irishman’s critique, however, didn’t solely confine itself to Jake Paul.

His discerning gaze fell on Nate Diaz as well. Diaz’s performance appeared to fall short of his standards, at least in McGregor’s view. Following Diaz’s defeat, ESPN MMA labeled him ‘Peoples Champion’, much to the chagrin of McGregor.

Unimpressed with the attribution, ‘The Notorious’ delivered a stinging riposte, rattling ESPN’s newly minted title for Diaz. Emphasizing his point, McGregor tweeted, “Could’ve been the 170lb UFC champion. Wasted it. Ur doing fuck all”.

These statements serve as a good starting line to analyze recent trends in boxing promotions and events; especially in the cases of fighters who switch sports, as well as entertainment stars who want to try their hand in the ring.
