LAS VEGAS — Conor McGregor has spent five months talking about his view of what happened between he and Nate Diaz at UFC 196 in March. The brash Irishman debuted a new analogy Friday night.
McGregor, the UFC's featherweight champion, compared Diaz to Homer Simpson in the "The Simpsons" episode where he begins boxing Friday at a gym day here in Vegas. Diaz, of course, beat McGregor by second-round submission after a war of a first eight minutes.
"You ever see that episode of The Simpsons where Homer starts boxing?" McGregor said.
