The lead-up to the main event had been unusually quiet for two of the more bombastic talkers in the UFC, but Wednesday's UFC 202 pre-fight press conference changed all that. It was marred by late arrivals, which eventually erupted into a bottle and can throwing melee between McGregor, Diaz, and Diaz's camp.
