MGM Grand in Las Vegas
World heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury
has had a dig at Conor McGregor following the
Irishman's defeat on Saturday.
McGregor suffered a humbling submission loss to
Nate Diaz at UFC 196 in Las Vegas.
The 27-year-old was badly hurt by a series of
punches from Diaz in the second round and
attempted a takedown as a result, but the
American finished him off on the ground with a
choke.

Fury, who is of Irish descent, has criticised
McGregor for tapping the mat too quickly on a
night when Holly Holm also lost her women's
bantamweight championship with a submission
defeat to Miesha Tate.
The WBA and WBO champion posted a series of
tweets on Sunday afternoon, aiming barbs at
McGregor and comparing his sport unfavourably
to boxing.
Fury wrote: "Both top UFC fighters lost this
weekend, Holly Holm showed more than Conor
McGregor.
"The fighting pride of Ireland would not of tapped
out so easy Conor McGregor I would of went
sleep first. There can only be 1Tyson fury.

"If a man talks the bizo then go and back it up, if I
say a thing I do it.
"MMA…..gets hard tap out, boxing is the Ultimate
combat sport. Where 2 proper fighters stand up &
fight."
