Moments after the final UFC 202 press conference ended abruptly this afternoon when Nate Diaz walked off the dais and threatened Conor McGregor from the stands inside David Copperfield Theater at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, resulting in a bottle- and can-throwing war, several fans on social media hailed it as a "brilliant" move to get inside the head of the trash-talking Irishman.
That's because McGregor was more than 15 minutes late, drawing the ire of company President Dana White. McGregor had his excuse (traffic), but before McGregor could get into a groove on the stage, Diaz vanished from his seat and began to roll out of the venue prematurely with his older brother, Nick Diaz, and the rest of his crew in attendance.
