After their face-off at yesterday's UFC 196 press conference ended with McGregor striking out at Nate Diaz, the two pugilists will meet one final time before they clash in the cage on Sunday morning.

The fight came with a mere 11 days notice after Diaz stepped in to replace lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos, but the pre-fight verbal and, now, physical exchanges have drummed up plenty of excitement for the 170-pound fight.

Security is likely to be tight to prevent any more altercations and you can watch the action live from midnight...
