THE UFC 202 pre-fight press conference may have stirred up a few more pay-per-view buys for Saturday night, but that money might go right back out the door for a lawsuit that's already in motion.
According to UFC president Dana White, the wheels are in motion for a lawsuit after Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor started launching water bottles, cans and even coffee cups at each other during the press conference in Las Vegas.
The volatile situation exploded when Diaz left his seat and walked out of the press conference before tossing his water bottle in McGregor's direction. At that point, camps for both fighters were shouting at each other and before long McGregor was grabbing full cans and bottles from the stage and firing them back at his opponent.
White says the repercussions for those actions will be quite costly because a lawsuit is being filed after somebody was apparently injured during the melee.
"The word is in this thing somebody was injured, so there's going to be a lawsuit," White told TMZ on Thursday. "Who knows how it's all going to play out. Somebody's filing a lawsuit. The wheels are already in motion on it."
