Kicking off

It’s all kicking off.

A bit of a scuffle broke out at the final press conference ahead of UFC 196 in Las Vegas.

Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz stepped towards each other for the customary stare down, but were separated by UFC president Dana White.

McGregor, with notable sound of some Irish fans cheering him on, swung for his opponent with his famous left, although in a faux-manner, sparking something of a scuffle on the stage as the two fighters were separated.

SportsJOE’s Darragh Murphy was in the front row to capture the incident.
