Conor McGregor crossed paths with Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s entourage Tuesday in Las Vegas at the fighters’ official arrivals. It went how you’d expect.
The sides ended up in a little bit of a scuffle, with several reporters and cameras also getting caught up in the madness. No big punches appeared to be thrown, but McGregor’s dust-up with Mayweather’s team came in addition to the UFC champion engaging in a heated verbal exchange with sparring partner-turned-enemy Paulie Malignaggi.
Check out Tuesday’s chaos below.

McGregor and Mayweather are scheduled to lock horns in a much-anticipated boxing match Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena. It should be an interesting week leading up to the superfight, though, especially if the last few months — Tuesday, in particular — are any indication.
