The aftermath of the wild scene that unfolded at the UFC 202 press conference on Wednesday continues to be felt a day later, and if recent reports are any indication, it will continue to be felt throughout the remainder of the build-up to the event, as well as the event itself.
On Thursday evening, MMAFighting.com reporter Ariel Helwani broke the news that both the McGregor and Diaz teams have been banned from all of the remaining UFC 202 events throughout the rest of the weekend.
The only three members of either camp that will be permitted will be there licensed corner men, according to UFC’s Senior Vice President of Public Relations Dave Sholler.
