While McGregor was busy assuring the press that their fight series would be a trilogy, Diaz decided to make an early exit from the dais. Diaz and his entourage taunted McGregor as they were corralled out of the conference room and soon bottles and cans were flying between the parties in the theatrical tradition of a barroom brawl.

So who will win UFC 202 — a browner, brawnier McGregor, or the Stockton slapper Diaz?

MMA Crazy polled fighters Derrick Lewis, Josh Koscheck, Alexander Gustafsson, Michael Chiesa, Jan Blachowicz, Lanchana Green, Junior Dos Santos, Gabriel Gonzaga, Neil Seery, Liam McGeary, Royce Gracie, Tito Ortiz, Kate Jackson and Timothy Johnson. To a man (and woman) they picked Diaz to repeat.
