VINE: It almost all kicked off when Conor McGregor grabbed Jose Aldo’s belt this evening

Fight night almost came early

The atmosphere in the Convention Centre Dublin is very reminiscent to that of a Colosseum tonight.

Conor McGregor’s hometown crowd roared themselves into a frenzy as The Notorious took to the stage and the situation reached fever pitch after Jose Aldo referred to himself as the king of Dublin.

In response, McGregor reached across the podium and snatched Aldo’s featherweight belt which provoked the champion to run at him.

UFC president Dana White had to separate the pair of 145lbers, much to the delight of the Irish fans.
