McGregor, Diaz hurl bottles and cans at UFC 202 presser

@UFCEurope

Once Conor McGregor finally showed up for Wednesday's UFC 202 press conference, chaos ensued.

The late-arriving McGregor answered only a few questions before being distracted by his rival Nate Diaz, who was making a noisy departure with his crew. Diaz and his friends hurled profanities at McGregor, who responded in kind.

Things truly got out of control when Diaz decided to hurl a water bottle at McGregor. The enraged Irishman then rose from his seat to gather bottles and cans to fire back, showing off a potent left arm when he tossed a projectile that thankfully buzzed harmlessly over the heads of those in press row.

McGregor and Diaz were in the same room together for less than five minutes, and it looks like there's still plenty of bad blood that will need to be settled in their main-event clash Saturday in Las Vegas.
