Guy love between two guys.

Conor McGregor and Urijah Faber didn’t always see eye-to-eye as opposing team coaches on the Ultimate Fighter, but the two UFC stars appear to have buried the hatchet.

In the latest episode of UFC Embedded, there was a truly bromantic moment between the Notorious and the California Kid. McGregor was heading to the UFC 196 weigh-ins and Faber was going to the huge Unstoppable press conference when they bumped into each other backstage.

The two embraced in a big hug while McGregor congratulated Faber on getting a bantamweight title shot against Dominick Cruz. The following conversation ensued.

McGregor: “You look good, brother.”

Faber: “Thank you, brother.”

McG: “Congratulations on the title shot.”

F: “Thank you, thank you.”

McG: “You almost got your ass whooped though!”

F: “You almost got your ass whooped!”
