Nate Diaz, Conor McGregor face suspensions and fines for UFC 202 incident

The UFC 202 pre-fight press conference resulted in anarchy, when both Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor ended up throwing water bottles at each other, cutting the event short. Now, both fighters are facing potential sanctions from the Nevada Athletic Commission.

The incident erupted when Diaz walked off the stage in the middle of the presser and began yelling expletives towards McGregor, who was answering some media questions at the moment. Diaz then threw a water bottle at McGregor, in which the Irishman retaliated with water bottles of his own, along with energy drink cans.
