Days before Nate Diaz steps into the Octagon again with Conor McGregor, the furor around their rematch has reached a fever pitch. From Diaz’s self-assured quips about how McGregor “got his ass beat” to McGregor’s extensive talk of the apparently equally extensive changes in his training camp, the bravado came to a head on Wednesday when a press conference erupted (NSFW language) into a beverage-throwing melee and ended early.
With Diaz and McGregor headlining, UFC 202 features one of the biggest rematches in the promotion’s history.
