Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz just couldn’t avoid interrupting each other during an interview on “FOX Sports Live” that took place just after their UFC 196 pre-fight press conference incident on Thursday evening.
The two got together – in separate rooms – for their joint-appearance on the FS1 program shortly after the incident that saw McGregor slap Diaz’s hand away from his face, leading to what nearly became a full-blown brawl until heavy security detail and various UFC officials successfully kept the two apart long enough for cooler heads to prevail.
While the situation on the stage during their near-brawl was defused, their heated tempers were not, as the verbal jousting once again arguably rose to a new level during their appearance on FOX Sports Live — which you can watch above — soon after the incident.
After the official UFC 196 weigh-ins on Friday afternoon Vegas-time (5pm EST.), it will be “go-time” the next time McGregor and Diaz see each other. The two won’t be forced to share a stage or work in front of a crowd again until they meet inside the Octagon on Saturday night in the UFC 196 main event.
