It didn't take long for Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor to start throwing water bottlers and energy drinks at each other shortly after McGregor arrived late at UFC 202 pre-fight conference. Both fighters, who are scheduled to fight in the main event of Saturday's UFC 202, were escorted outside the venue, putting an end to the press conference. Below, fellow fighters reacted to the chaos that erupted in Las Vegas.
