NATE DIAZ has sarcastically urged the UFC to grant Conor McGregor’s request to have two belts made in his honour.
On Saturday, the UFC’s poster boy called for the promotion to make two titles to commemorate his global and financial impact on the sport.
He tweeted: “Let’s do two belts, actually. Champ Champ always does two.
“We’ve got “The McGregor Belt” currently in creation, and now we’ve got the all-new “RMF” belt.
‘”The Richest Motherf* Belt”. This way we can put both the rubies and the emeralds to good use.”
It didn’t take long for Diaz to get wind of McGregor’s latest demand to the UFC brass.
And the Ultimate Fighter season five winner called on Dana White to grant the Irishman’s request in order to boost his ego.
He tweeted: “@ufc go ahead and make this lil b***h a belt or 2 with rubies or whatever he wants on it.

“I think he really needs it.
“I need his confidence hi so he can do well so go ahead and make the belt if you would like too
“And go out there and gettem champ.”
McGregor, 32, is currently gearing up for a trilogy fight with former interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier.
The Notorious will throw down with The Diamond on July 10 in the main event of UFC 264 in Las Vegas.
Poirier vs McGregor III will take place in front of a sold-out crowd at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena.
McGregor suffered a brutal second-round KO loss to his old featherweight rival in January in the main event of UFC 257 in Abu Dhabi.
The UFC’s first simultaneous two-weight world champion is itching to exact revenge on fan favourite Poirier, telling ESPN on Wednesday: “I signed my bout agreement this morning.
“I’m going to rip the game a new a**hole July 10.
“The Mac is back in Sin City! Full house!”
