Eddie Alvarez took a page out of the Nate Diaz playbook Thursday.
Two days away from his lightweight title defense at UFC 205 against Conor McGregor in New York City, Alvarez walked out of a press conference for the event when he decided not to wait around for an absent McGregor to arrive.
The move was reminiscent of Diaz leaving a press conference in August when McGregor showed up late to promote their bout, resulting in the two fighters hurling bottles and cans at each other.
Fortunately for the UFC, Alvarez seemed to be a lot more relaxed in regards to the whole situation:
