‘The Notorious’ sparks yet another frenzy! In the midst of the tantalizing showdown between Jake Paul and Nate Diaz, where the YouTuber incredulously pulled up in a tank – a surprising act on Twitter left fans both amazed and entertained. While the focus initially rested on the clash between the 38-year-old UFC veteran and the 26-year-old YouTuber, the unfolding narrative took an unexpected twist.

Fans and onlookers were surprised by the surprising arrival of Hip-hop artist and rapper Saweetie, who joined the PPV main event at the American Airlines Center. However, the awe factor skyrocketed when the 30-year-old rapper stepped into the spotlight – as the ring girl for the second round of the Paul vs. Diaz boxing spectacle. But the pinnacle of the spectacle was reached when Conor McGregor, who had no interest in the bout, was mystified by Saweetie’s allure as a ring girl. Almost immediately after, he took to Instagram to craft a message directed at the Hip-hop artist.

During the PPV boxing event, the Irishman directed his attention toward the 30-year-old rapper, Saweetie. Despite his historical feud with both fighters in the ring, the ‘Notorious’ found the event lacking excitement – just as he had already declared. Swiftly shifting his focus, he turned his playful attention to the rapper, generating a buzz on Twitter.

Saweetie, gracing the PPV event in the company of her friends, radiated an aura of elegance befitting the occasion. Her presence sparked a wave of admiration – so how could the UFC star miss out on shooting his shot?

 

In a tweet that instantly went viral, McGregor’s message read: “F**k this, sweetie what’s up.” Judging from this tweet, this almost confirms his distaste for the bout. Isn’t this rather impromptu gesture peculiar to McGregor’s knack for stirring conversations on social media platforms? And he has done quite often – this time successfully diverting the spotlight from the ongoing Paul vs. Diaz showdown.

Likewise, the Irishman’s penchant for adding a mischievous touch to his online presence was clearly at play. The sudden mention of Saweetie completely redirected the attention of online spectators. Moreover, it kindled a buzz among a plethora of fans in the comments section.

Notably, McGregor’s engagement with Saweetie was not a mere isolated incident. The day prior to the boxing PPV fight, he had already set the tone for what he thought of the match with his Twitter activity. He openly expressed his thoughts about the event, maintaining a nonchalant stance by tweeting: “Regardless of that nonsense match, me and Nate will be completing the trilogy.”

However, as expected – the Irishman’s intentions didn’t end with casual commentary. The Irish fighter shared his plans for the future, unveiling a strategy that intertwined his ambitions for the trilogy match with Diaz. He has already declared his inclination to beat Justin Gaethje – and make that the trophy – the UFC’s coveted “BMF” (Baddest Motherf***er) title – a trophy for his next fight. McGregor’s strategy is clear: he aims to make this newly acquired title the ultimate prize for his third encounter with Diaz.
