UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor was asked a question that he didn’t like after his most recent press conference, and he gave a reporter the business.
McGregor had just wrapped a NSFW presser to preview his upcoming fight against Nate Diaz at UFC 196, and when TMZ cameraman Charlie Cotton struck a nerve, McGregor responded exactly how you’d think he would.
Cotton insinuated that McGregor’s “cholo” comment to Diaz was racially motivated, and that didn’t go over well.
“Mate, shut the f-ck up and get away, will ya? Remember that Jesus sh-t you brought up? Such a stupid question. You’re an idiot.”
And in case you missed the epic back-and-forth exchange between McGregor and Diaz during the presser, here it is.
