NEW YORK — Conor McGregor is fighting one champion and almost got into it with another Friday.
McGregor, the UFC featherweight champ, and welterweight titleholder Tyron Woodley had a confrontation at UFC 205 official weigh-ins here at the Affinia Manhattan hotel.
After both weighed in, they ended up together at the rehydration table next to the stage, getting water and other assorted nourishments. Woodley said "what's up?" to McGregor and McGregor stared him down hard. McGregor did eventually say "what's up?" back. It was very tense.
Woodley explained his viewpoint on the situation later Friday morning on Twitter.
