Conor McGregor has criticized his former UFC rival,Nate Diaz, following Diaz’s devastating TKO loss to Mike Perry at MVP MMA 1 this past weekend.Diaz returned to MMA after four years to take on Perry, but the 41-year-old was dismantled for 10 straight minutes as Perry left him bloodied and heavily bruised.
Given theamount of bloodleaking from Diaz’s face, his corner decided not to let him continue, after which Perry was declared the winner via TKO (doctor’s stoppage) at the end of Round 2.
Despite the loss, Diaz has said that retirement is not in his plans anytime soon and is already game to run it back with Perry once he has healed up.
