It's all fun and games until a Monster Energy can turns into a wicked fastball.
According to members of Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor's camps, their entourages have been banned by MGM for the UFC 202 press conference incident from Wednesday. The situation saw Nate Diaz walk out on the press conference, only to start throwing water bottles, which turned into an all-out war.
According to Ariel Helwani, only licensed cornermen will be allowed at the events in relation to UFC 202, which rules Nick Diaz out for a totally different reason.
The elder Diaz still owed the Nevada Athletic Commission $100,000 in relation to his latest settlement agreement. This means the former Strikeforce Champion is still considered suspended by the commission. It has been stated since then, that the fine may end up getting paid off for fight night.
The Diaz Brothers and Conor McGregor aren't the only two affected, as McGregor's teammate Artem Lobov and Diaz teammate Chris Avila are fighting Saturday, and also can only have licensed cornermen with them.
UFC 202 takes place Saturday Night on PPV. Fightful.com will have full, live coverage including a post-fight Podcast.
