Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz shared an aggressive face off at today's public weigh-ins, with UFC president Dana White having to step in to separate the main event duo.
'He should have killed me while he had the chance,' roared McGregor in the direction of Nate Diaz at Friday night's weigh-in ahead of UFC 202 tomorrow night at the T-Mobile Arena.
'Now I'm back and I'm going to kill you and your whole f**king team,' he shouted before leaving the stage. 'You and them bitch kids.'
The MGM Grand's Convention Centre was shaking by the time the featherweight champion took to the stage. A number of police officers arrived on the platform moments before the main event duo emerged, underlining the rising tensions between the two camps.
The venue exploded again when a shirtless Diaz appeared, and as predicted, the Dana White had to spring into action as they snarled at each other to delight of the spirited crowd.
