Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor go back and forth on Twitter
Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor rolled back the years by going head to head once more, but this time on social media. The pair sent numerous back and forth tweets today but here at Fightful, we have it broke down tweet by tweet to save you going back and forth. It all seemed to start as “The Notorious” asked for a belt to be made in his honor, a dig at the “Baddest Motherfucker” championship that Diaz contested Jorge Masvidal for, and the Stockton native responded as only he can. Will a trilogy fight happen soon?
I I feel it’s time to break out this baby for the next fight. I ask the UFC to please create The McGregor belt. I suggest rose gold and rubies. Think patek rare. pic.twitter.com/bGSRBhRwAa

Or yellow gold and emeralds possibly. Might be nice also.
I’m open to design suggestions.

I forget nothing bro and you’ll see that soon enough. And don’t talk to me about a little slap in a scuffle I had them all trapped thinking they were dead. You’re the king of nothing. You couldn’t even win your own belt they made for you, let alone any other. pic.twitter.com/X9LiMQLbEr

Ben Askren releases amazing Rocky IV tribute video
If Ben Askren can box half as good as he can tweet, Jake Paul is in for a world of hurt when they fight on April 17. “Eye Of The Funky” anyone?

Ben Askren fires back at Jorge Masvidal
Do you agree with Ben Askren that Jorge Masvidal was lucky with his knee TKO victory?
The individual I buried does not represent MMA. He represents all the hard core and casual crotch sniffers #andnew
— Jorge Masvidal UFC (@GamebredFighter) March 28, 2021
I’ve refrained for 2 years, but let’s be real Jorge. You landed the luckiest knee of your life and I made you famous. You’re welcome. You got 50-43’d by Usman and will likely again next month. Beat it loser. https://t.co/JwZyaxGYa1

Anderson Silva posts cryptic message on Instagram
ICYMI, Anderson Silva has agreed to box Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., his first fight since his UFC release. “The Spider” posted the following in Portuguese (translated via Google) on his Instagram. Is this a dig at the UFC?
“If the dream is over, go to another bakery,” Silva said, adding the caption, “Get the hint.”
Megan Anderson being targeted by online trolls
Surely something has to be done to prevent this? Megan Anderson, or anyone else for that matter, should receive these sorts of messages. Fair play to the Aussie for having the courage to take the high road with this troll and not let him get to her.
Be better. This is on the milder scale of what I get daily.
No one, and I mean no one deserves to be spoken to like this… ever.
Please let this be a reminder to be a better human being. pic.twitter.com/I79qGvHPoy
