It’s such a shame that we have to wait another few months for the next Conor McGregor pre-fight press conference.
McGregor’s quips are the stuff of legend in the run-up to his fights and there was no exception in Las Vegas on Thursday when ‘The Notorious’ came up with a novel way for opponent Nate Diaz to show his gratitude for being picked to step in for the injured Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 196.
The press conference was intense, ending in a near-brawl between McGregor and Diaz, and it was easy to see why Diaz was so incensed by the Irishman, having been told to “dance for me” just minutes earlier.
“Don’t talk about money, you’re broke,” McGregor said.
“I could easily switch you up now and put you back on that $20,000/$20,000 if you want.
“But all I want is a thank you or even a little dance.
“Dance for me Nate. Dance for me and don’t look me in the eye when you dance.”
