‘Get your s*** together’ – Nate Diaz hits out at Conor McGregor and Jorge Masvidal after UFC rivals are both arrested
UFC star Nate Diaz has slammed Conor McGregor and Jorge Masvidal after the pair were arrested in separate incidents.
Irish icon McGregor was arrested in Dublin on Tuesday evening for alleged dangerous driving in his Bentley Continental Gt.
The 33-year-old will now have to appear before Blanchardstown district court in April, where if convicted, he could face a six-month prison sentence or a fine of up to £4,100, or both.
A spokesperson for the Notorious said: “Mr McGregor was driving to the gym when he was stopped by gardai (Irish police) for alleged road traffic violations.
“He passed the drug and alcohol tests taken at the station.”
Meanwhile Masvidal has been charged with aggravated battery and criminal mischief after allegedly assaulting rival Colby Covington outside a Miami steakhouse.

The incident comes less than three weeks after their grudge match where Masivdal lost on a unanimous decision.
It has been alleged that Covington was left with a fractured tooth and an abrasion to his left wrist.
And Diaz has hit out at the duo on social media in a fiery X-rated Twitter post.
He said: “All [of] you fighters need to stop getting arrested for stupid s***.

“You’re acting like animals [and] irresponsible little kids.
“Get your s*** together, drive safe please and act right. F***.”
Diaz has history with both fighters having pitted his wits twice against McGregor.
He inflicted a first UFC loss on McGregor after submitting him in March 2016, before losing their rematch later that year on points.
The California native was then stopped by Masvidal in November 2019 after the pair fought for the BMF belt.
