It seems the cantankerous press tour between Conor McGregor and Jose Aldo has finally ended with a bang. McGregor has literally done everything in his power to get under Aldo’s skin.

In Brazil, the crazy Irishman put his feet on the table and declared kingship over Aldo’s home. Later, Conor even stole the champion’s belt while Jose was doing a radio interview; he then proceeded to taunt the champion through the booth’s window exclaiming, “Come get it ya little old f**k.” The champ did his best to ignore the taunts.

But things reached a fever pitch during the Dublin press conference, where McGregor’s antics almost led to blows.

When Jose Aldo attempted to mock McGregor by placing his feet on the table — like Notorious did in Brazil — Conor jumped up and snatched the championship belt. And since they were in Dublin, the crowd went absolutely nuts.

Aldo clearly did not like this and went after McGregor and UFC President Dana White did his best to separate the two fighters.
