Everybody made weight for UFC 196, including headliners Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor, as well as co-headliners Holly Holm and Miesha Tate for Holm’s bantamweight title. All eyes were on how Diaz and McGregor would stare each other down, especially after yesterday’s press conference skirmish. There was a police presence on stage, but Dana White made sure neither one of them got close to laying a hand on each other. McGregor yelled at Nate “Lemme see your hand!” in reference to Conor hitting Diaz’s right hand yesterday. Nate flipped him off, but not before making McGregor momentarily jump back even though they were well apart.
You can watch the full weigh-ins video (of the FOX broadcast, we will have MMA Fighting’s video up shortly!) at the top of the page. Diaz said, “F**k you, you little bitch!” to McGregor in his interview with Joe Rogan, while McGregor called him a skinny fat man.
