Well, it was only going to be so long before Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz were going to have trouble containing themselves after the heated build-up to their showdown this Saturday in Las Vegas.
At the second UFC 196: McGregor vs. Diaz press conference held on Thursday, McGregor and Diaz were nearly involved in a brawl.
During the staredown after the presser, McGregor shoved away Diaz’s hand, which led to Diaz shoving UFC President in an attempt to go after McGregor. Luckily, the situation was defused before getting too far out of hand, as a ton of security and officials hit the scene to keep McGregor and Diaz apart.
