The UFC 196 press conference took the usual age to get started, and once it did get going we saw the crowd surprised by McGregor's humility in the face of Muhammad Ali comparisons.

However, soon after that moment of humility, we saw what we were all expecting as Conor McGregor hit Nate Diaz with a swift blow to the ego by making fun of the wage that Diaz has been earning, and how he can make Nate do what he wants.
There was the balloon animal joke, and now there's this:
Ouch.
That was pretty funny to be fair. It's a testament to Conor McGregor's quick wit that you can rely on him to produce in these heavily pressurised exchanges.
