Conor McGregor responds to Nate Diaz’s concern for him

Conor McGregor is trying his best to return to the Octagon, but the UFC administration seems to be delaying his return without any explanation. The former dial weight champion, in his recent confession, stated that he was getting tired of the delays and he was losing motivation to train. This call for help from McGregor was heard by his former Rival, Nate Diaz who took to X to criticize Dana White and co for their antics against McGregor.

“This was me for years before Conor even got here they want u to die before u get out these contracts it’s up to u to make something pop no one gonna help you but you Free Conor it’s at pattys day in this b*tch,” wrote Diaz in one of his tweets.

Diaz’s concern for McGregor didn’t go unnoticed as ‘Notorious’ took to his Instagram handle to add two stories appreciating Diaz’s support. The former dual weight champion shared the photo of them together with Diaz’s words and captioned it as “Haha, My bro @natediaz209” and “Iconic Rivalry must be settled.” We’ll have to wait and see how things play out between McGregor and the UFC as talks of his return remain a topic of much discussion and little action. Meanwhile, let us shift our focus to Mike Tyson and Jake Paul’s upcoming boxing match.

Colby Covington is worried about Mike Tyson

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are about to lock horns. Their fight may sound like a prank to many people but it is happening. The age difference between the two fighters is 30 years, Jake Paul being 27 and Tyson being 57. The age difference is almost criminally unfair and fans are worried about Tyson’s health, including Colby Covington.

Covington recently had a conversation with Adam Sosnick on his podcast where he expressed his thoughts on their upcoming matchup. “I don’t like it at all. Mike still looks like a superhuman for 58 but he’s still 58 years old and you know he shouldn’t be fighting anymore,” said Covington.

He further added, “I don’t think it’s safe, I think it’s dangerous at that age. Your heart might explode, you know. He gets hit in the head, he might have a brain bleed. I mean the guy, I-that’s what I hope for, I hope for that Mike Tyson makes it through injury-free and doesn’t get hurt.”

Covington is not the only one who criticized the matchup. Various prominent figures in the world of fighting including Michael Bisping and Kamaru Usman have called out Jake Paul for his challenge against Tyson. Well, joke or not, their match is set to happen soon. Nonetheless, let’s take a step away from negativity and see a heartwarming gesture from UFC’s featherweight champion, Ilia Topuria.
