Nate Diaz was not impressed with Conor McGregor's antics at that infamous stare down on Thursday.
When the two warriors went to do the obligatory stare down at the pre-fight press conference, McGregor almost sparked a full-on brawl by hitting Diaz's hand away.

In comparison, McGregor laughed it off with his teammates while snacking.
