The bad blood continued to flow at the UFC 196 weighs in.
Diaz came out first. Too some cheers, and a lot of Irish boos. The professional had no problem making weight, hitting the scales at 169 lbs.
McGregor came out to raucous cheers, rubbing his belly perhaps in an attempt to further goad Diaz. Perhaps he was just happy not to have had to make 145. He weighed in at 168 lbs.
They shove and tussle with UFC president Dana White gamely keeping them apart; he was doubtless grateful for the time spent in the basement gym at UFC headquarters. Then each offered some final thoughts.
Diaz: I’m here to kill or be killed. F*** this little b****. F*** you.”

McGregor: It’s another day for me. I was just giggling at his soft body. How can a fat guy be so skinny? Weight should never be an issue. Fighters should be able to go up and down.
