The only story talked about surrounding yesterday’s UFC 202 press conference was the pandemonium that broke out when Diaz walked off the stage and got into a yelling, bottle throwing fight between his team and McGregor who was still on the stage.

But before that all happened, Diaz talked about the fight with McGregor and his preparation heading into the rematch. Diaz was asked about McGregor’s prediction of a second round knockout and responded in typical Diaz fashion:

I think he got a lot of people around him and he’s trying to pump himself up (and) he’s either lying to himself or to the world about his confidence or trying to make himself believe it, Diaz said at today’s UFC 202 pre-fight news conference. But he remembers what happened in the last fight, and I think it’s a little silly. He’s got pictures of me in his garage with me punching him in the face. What the (expletive)? Who does that? You’re trying to make yourself believe something. He’s trying to hype himself up, but when he goes to sleep at night, he remembers what happened the last time.
