If the fight was settled on this support alone, Diaz would be out for the count in no time at all.
Although Conor McGregor predicted he would be walking into enemy territory for his highly anticipated rematch against Nate Diaz at UFC 202, it was clear that the Notorious had the greater support at the official weigh-ins.
Diaz was booed as he made his way to the scales before his intense staredown with the undisputed featherweight king and before the fighters even took the stage, McGregor fans let their voices be heard as they chanted on their guy.
There was also some friendly rivalry between the two sets of supporters as the predominantly Irish McGregor support belted out a chorus of “Diaz is a pussy” as the Diaz faithful flipped them the bird Stockton style.
All in good fun… we hope.

Lovely stuff, fellas.
Diaz and McGregor lock horns at the MGM Grand on Saturday night (the man card should be under way at around 3AM Sunday, UK time), with the Irishman looking to avenge his defeat at UFC 196 last March.
If you’re happy stay up for it, the fight will be shown live on BT Sport 2.
We can’t wait.
