This is gonna be fun.
Less than 24 hours after inking a welterweight main event between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz (details), Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) will bring the trash-talking rivals together under one roof to help promote the UFC 196 pay-per-view (PPV), taking place March 5, 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The live press conference video stream kicks off today (Weds., Feb. 24, 2016) at 4 p.m. ET in the embedded video player above.
McGregor was originally expected to face Rafael dos Anjos for the Brazilian’s 155-pound strap; however, a late injury forced him from the card and paved the way for Diaz — complete with F-bombs — to step in on short notice. Also in attendance at today’s presser will be UFC women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm, who makes her first title defense against perennial division contender Miesha Tate.
