“Don’t Look Me in the Eye When You Dance”- Revisiting Conor McGregor’s Iconic Offer to “Broke Bi*ch” Nate Diaz

Conor McGregor is one of the most legendary talkers in all combat sports. Fans love him for his slick-talking and his extraordinary swagger, which has made him a superstar. McGregor has had some iconic disputes which will go down in the history books of the promotion. His fights against Nate Diaz, one of his biggest rivals in the game, was iconic indeed.

In the press conference of the buildup to their fight at UFC 196, Conor McGregor delivered one of the most legendary taunts to Nate Diaz. 

He said,” look at Nate. Nate’s last fight, $20,000 to show up, $20,000 to win. Not even a win bonus. His full check wasn’t even a ‘Performance of the Night’ bonus… He really should be thankful and be grateful for this opportunity that I’m giving him.”

Nate clapped back at Conor and said, “you should be thankful too. You got a bigger check now than fighting Dos Anjos.”

McGregor immediately reacted to Diaz and said,” don’t talk about money you broke bit*h. I can easily switch you up now and put you back on that $20,000 if you want. But all I want is a thank you. Or even a little dance. Even a little dance. Dance for me, Nate. Dance for me. And don’t look me in the eye when you dance.”

The Irishman had the crowd going wild after this nasty taunt, which he aimed at the Californian.

Will we ever see a trilogy bout between Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor?

Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz have one of the biggest rivalries in the history of the UFC. The fighters have stepped into the octagon against each other twice and both have won one fight each.

McGregor will make his return to the UFC this year, after sitting away from the action due to the injury he suffered at UFC 264: Poirier vs. McGregor 3. ‘The Notorious’ will make a comeback to the UFC, and will most likely take on Nate Diaz in a trilogy bout.

Diaz is on the last fight of his current UFC contract and will look for a big paycheck before his exit. A fight against McGregor is the definition of a heft paycheck. This fight makes complete sense.
