The UFC held a press conference to promote the upcoming welterweight bout between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz, and things ended up getting physical. After 30 minutes of heated back-and-forth between the two fan favorites, McGregor and Diaz came together for a staredown. Then this happened:
Saturday can't come soon enough! #UFC196 https://t.co/sZjTF5UaPi

Diaz put his hands out in an exaggerated boxing stance and McGregor slapped it away hard, which brought out the security team, UFC executives Dana White and Dave Sholler, as well as Diaz's brother, Nick Diaz. Things calmed down, but, obviously, this only adds more fuel to an already fiery UFC 196 main event.
