When you're dealing with Conor McGregor, you have to be prepared for attacks from every angle.

That apparently holds true outside of the cage, as UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez discovered on Tuesday at a press conference for their upcoming bout at UFC 205. Near the end of the presser, a McGregor fan disguised as a reporter was given time to hurl insults at Alvarez in support of his favorite fighter.

Alvarez did his best to play it cool, but McGregor was happy to pile on and stoke the heckler's flames.

"The Underground King" will have to wait until Nov. 12 to silence McGregor and his many supporters.
