4. “Everyone’s On Steroids”

Possibly the greatest pre-fight press conference in UFC history took place not too far from Nate’s home, but there was just as many Conor fans as Diaz fans in attendance.  Up until this point in Conor’s career no opponent had even come close to out trash-talking him, but Nate arguably got the better of him here.

Possibly the best moment of this press conference was when Nate accused not only Conor of being on steroids, but the entire UFC.  Conor was quick to point out that Gilbert Melendez and Jake Shields, 2 of Diaz’s teammates at Cesar Gracie, had been popped for PEDs in the past.
