— UFC Ireland (@UFC_Ireland) November 10, 2016
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) featherweight champion Conor McGregor and lightweight titleholder Eddie Alvarez came face-to-face earlier today during the UFC 205 final press conference in New York, which served as the last hurrah to promote their upcoming 155-pound title fight, which is set to go down inside Madison Square Garden on Nov, 12, 2016 in "The Big Apple." And it nearly turned ugly, with McGregor blowing a gasket on the stage and threatening to hit Alvarez over the head with a chair WWE-style (watch it here). And to watch the UFC 205 press conference video replay here.
Also getting violent this weekend in "The World’s Most Famous Arena" is welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, who will be defending his 170-pound belt for the first time ever against Stephen Thompson in the co-main event. Check out their staredown below.

"That was a head-butt!"
