Video: UFC's Nick Diaz Says He'd 'Whoop' Conor McGregor in a Fight

UFC fighter Nick Diaz has ignited talk of a possible clash with Conor McGregor after saying he'd "whoop" the Dubliner, despite having had one professional fight in the past six-and-a-half years.

Diaz—whose younger brother, Nate, beat McGregor before losing a rematch—recently spoke to TMZ alongside Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace AJ Agazarm, saying he'd "whoop his ass" when the prospect of a fight arose:

Diaz, 36, last fought in January 2015 and returned to eligibility for the UFC in April 2018 after serving a one-year suspension from the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) for missing three out-of-competition drug tests in 12 months.
