VIDEO: Clever editing completely changes dynamic of infamous UFC 196 press conference

Straight outta context

They don’t move like I move, they don’t exchange pleasantries the way I exchange pleasantries.

That infamous first press conference featuring Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz should be still fresh in everyone’s minds. It was the first time the two trash talk masters went toe-to-toe in a verbal sparring match, and boy did it live up to the hype.

The Notorious had many quotable quotes from the event including the following wonderful put-down:

“He’s like a little wannabe cholo gangster from the hood. He makes gun signs with the left hand and animal balloons with the right. He’s a credit to the community.”

However, Fox Sports have edited the presser to make it seem like the relationship between the two warriors is nothing short of amicable. The results are massively entertaining.
