Meanwhile, during the press conference, McGregor threw a punch at his opponent Diaz and all hell broke loose. UFC boss Dana White sensed the tension and quickly intervened to separate the fighters. However, White had to call the security before things turned ugly.
Elsewhere, McGregor expressed his desire to battle Robbie Lawler for the UFC welterweight title.
White was asked if he would be open for such a match.
"I'm open to whatever he's considering doing. If he wants to fight at 170 and he wants to fight Robbie Lawler, Conor is tough to deny these days," White said to MMAjunkie.
"Nobody's ever done this - 145 pounds going to 170 - and it's one of those things when you talk about these guys, and the money's in the bank and all the things are going on, they have all this opportunity. Conor really does step up and fight anybody, anywhere, anytime. It's impressive, it's fun and this is what makes you love the fight business," he added.
