Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz had plenty of highly-publicized run-ins in the buildup to their UFC 202 rematch. The most high-profile of these, however, was their infamous bottle-throwing showdown at one of the event’s pre-fight press conferences. The incident began when McGregor showed up late to the press event. Evidently irritated by the Irishman’s tardiness, Diaz and his team then stormed out of the building, throwing water bottles McGregor’s way as they did. McGregor, who never shies away from an on-camera conflict, then returned fire, pelting his adversaries with water bottles of his own, and an energy drink can. This wild shoot-out, unsurprisngly, drove the fans into a frenzy, and increased the hype for UFC 202 by an exponential factor. The Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC), however, was not pleased about the ordeal. In fact, they were livid.
