Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz prepare for UFC 196

There was a lot of cursing, a slew of obscene gestures, numerous funny lines and a near-brawl during a photo conference.

In other words, it was just a typical Conor McGregor public appearance.

The UFC featherweight champion, who meets Nate Diaz Saturday in the main event of UFC 196 in a five-round non-title bout, was more than a half-hour late once again. But he was the life of the party during a raucous news conference that ended quickly when he swiped Diaz's right fist away from his face.
