This time, Dana White brought extra security to keep Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor apart.

Not wanting a repeat of the brawl that nearly started after Thursday's press conference, the UFC positioned police officers on the UFC 196 weigh-in stage, with members of each fighter's camps flanking them.

The two fighters made the welterweight limit for their main event meeting, and White was already prepared to get between them before they got close to each other. Diaz made a move that caused McGregor to flinch, though White was there to hold the Irish megastar back.

Diaz threw up dual middle fingers as a parting gift to his opponent before they fight on Saturday night in Las Vegas.
