UFC 205 is a mere two days away, and the participants of the card’s three title fights were present at the final press conference before the historic event.
The press conference featured featherweight champ Conor McGregor, lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez, strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk, Karolina Kowalkiewicz, welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, Stephen Thompson, and UFC President Dana White.
As expected, McGregor showed up fashionably late to the presser. Alvarez, typically not one for theatrics, stormed out of the press conference and said he would be back when his opponent arrived.
When McGregor did arrive, things got crazy.

Irish superstar McGregor showed up wearing an outrageous white mink coat and bright red pants, and he proceeded to take Alvarez’s belt from the table and place it next to his own. Alvarez took his belt back, which instigated a near-scuffle between the two headliners that included chairs nearly being thrown and security guards momentarily dragging McGregor off stage.
When it came time for the staredowns, strawweight champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk and challenger Karolina Kowalkiewicz came closer to blows than Dana White wanted to allow.
