Morning Report: Nate Diaz's boxing coach says Conor McGregor 'acted like a little kid' at UFC 202 press conference

Boy, that escalated quickly.

Yesterday at the UFC 202 pre-fight press conference, all hell broke loose when Nate Diaz and his team exited early after a late arrival from Conor McGregor. When Diaz began leaving, McGregor got upset and the two exchanged heated words, leading to McGregor and Diaz's team members throwing water bottles and energy drink cans at each other across the theater. The tense moment caused Dana White to abruptly end the press conference.

In the aftermath, both Diaz and McGregor both responded to the dust up, as did fighters and pundits.
