'UFC 189 Championship Tour Embedded,' No. 6: McGregor, Aldo need to be separated

In the sixth episode of “UFC 189 World Championship Tour Embedded” in advance of July’s blockbuster featherweight title fight, tensions remain high between champion Jose Aldo and challenger Conor McGregor.

This time, the fighters are in friendly territory for McGregor, Ireland’s biggest MMA star, in Irish-heavy Boston – the city he headlined in January with a dominant knockout win over Dennis Siver to earn his shot at Aldo. At a news conference, McGregor needed to be held back by UFC President Dana White as he shouted insults at the champion.

The organization announced earlier this month announced a 12-day, 10-city media tour to promote UFC 189’s pay-per-view headliner between Aldo (25-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC) and McGregor (17-2 MMA, 5-0 UFC). It takes place July 11 at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena, and ahead of the summer blockbuster, the UFC’s “Embedded” series joins them on the tour.

In the sixth episode, Dana White does some radio tours before the press conference, then the fighters get up close and personal again. Plus, both are more than cordial to their fans in Boston.
