But despite the bad blood, McGregor still backed Diaz to beat Jorge Masvidal in their boxing rematch.

The Irishman lumped on £390,000 and won back £1.2m after Diaz beat Masvidal on points.

Diaz was told about McGregor’s wager and subsequent winnings at the press conference but he just replied: “That’s cool.”

Laughter broke out in the room as McGregor later posted: “I make ya so much money you can swim in it!”
