Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz faced off after the first press conference today. This happened just a day after Diaz was announced as McGregor’s opponent at UFC 196, replacing injured lightweight champ Raphael dos Anjos who broke his foot.
MMA Fighting tweeted highlights from the presser:
McGregor: I’m not on steroids. I’m just an animal.

McGregor: I’m motivated by movement and money — and the movement of money.

Diaz: They gave me a fuck load of money and I said: ‘I want more of that shit!’

McGregor: There’s many pussies in this game, but I ain’t one.

McGregor: You have to teach seminars in BJJ just to make ends meet.

Diaz: He’s got no training partners.

McGregor: I understand Aldo. He needs to take a year off. I bounced his head off the canvas like a basketball.

McGregor: You take head trauma, you sit your ass and rest. Come back healthy.

McGregor: They all have sore vaginas lately. RDA broke his foot and his vagina in the same damn day. Same with Edgar.

McGregor: It’s hard to commit to dos Anjos again. When you pull out with a bruise on the foot, there’s not much I can do.

McGregor: Nate and I have a similar will, but the skill doesn’t match the will and that’s the difference.

McGregor: I’ve always enjoyed Nick and Nate and their style of fighting.

Diaz: Congratulations to you, mother fucker. I’m the show.

McGregor: Nate, congratulations. You’re rich now.
— MMAFighting.com (@MMAFighting) February 24, 2016
McGregor: The end of the first, I believe I will put him away.
— MMAFighting.com (@MMAFighting) February 24, 2016
McGregor: I respect Nate. There are a lot of pussies in this game and he’s not one of them.

This is going to be a wild one.
