WATCH: Nate Diaz roars the complete opposite of a veiled call-out to Conor McGregor

No messing about

Nate Diaz had no time for celebrating his upset of Michael Johnson.

Rather than go through the usual fighter rigmarole of thanking his coaches, family or God, Diaz had just one man’s name on his lips.

The outspoken UFC lightweight dominated Johnson on the feet on the main card of UFC on Fox 17 and wasted no time in looking for his next opponent.

When handed the microphone by Joe Rogan, Diaz let fly with the most Diaz post-fight interview we’ve heard in years only to be cut off for his use of bad language on national television.

The call-out didn’t exactly go unnoticed in the McGregor camp.

And, well, Conor McGregor’s response? Just perfect.
