Some will say that it proves how quick Conor McGregor's reflexes are, some will say it's proof that Nate Diaz is in his head.

But one thing is for sure and that's that Diaz definitely made McGregor flinch at the UFC 196 weigh-ins. Las Vegas police officers were in attendance at the scales to make sure there was no repeat of the scuffle that took place 24 hours previously And Friday's staredown was much less dramatic than Thursday's but it wasn't without event. Again McGregor and Diaz attempted to get close to one another, again Dana White struggled to separate them but, this time, McGregor instinctively flinched when Diaz faked a punch in his direction. We wouldn't like to read too much into it but the argument could be made that Diaz drew level in the mental warfare stakes after falling behind on Thursday. https://www.instagram.com/p/BCjZ2lfQVZt/?taken-by=cameronrhanes&hl=en
