Irish MMA star Conor McGregor has called out his former UFC rival Nate Diaz for a Slap fight under Dana White's Power Slap League. The Notorious One has been eyeing a comeback and wants to go against Diaz for the Power Slap League championship fight. While talking on Twitter, Mystic Mac hilariously claimed that White’s Slap League is very similar to the Stockton slapper and hence he would like to win a title.
McGregor then talked more about his possible fight and asked questions regarding the rules of the Power Slap League. He then expressed that he is excited about attending a live event and complimented Dana White for the initiative.
The Notorious One wrote, “Me Vs Nate on it for the title hahahaha maybe that’s a title you’d have a better chance of coming close to winning Nate you little slapper hahahaha.”
“Is it a flip of a coin who gets to go first? How long do they have to recover before they get to throw their counter? Or is it over if they’re ko’d? Fascinating. I’m attending one of these 100%. Is this Dana’s? Wtf is this madness Dana hahaha. I’m in.”

Talking about the Power Slap League, the new series will be launching in early 2023 as White announced a deal with TBS for an eight-part television show.
The press release for the league states competitors will fight to earn a place in “the cast house” and Power Slap rankings. The sport sees two opponents going against each other where they will be exchanging open-handed hits to the face one after another until one wins the match.
