The press conference for the first UFC card in New York City went viral before everyone took a seat.

Adorned in a white mink coat, a red turtleneck sweater and pants to match, UFC Featherweight champ Conor McGregor strutted into the pre-fight press conference for UFC 205, grabbed opponent Eddie Alvarez's title belt, then later started swinging a chair as he was held back by UFC President Dana White.

(Beware: Some adult language.)

McGregor is fighting UFC Lightweight champ Eddie Alvarez as part of a stacked card in UFC's first show at Madison Square Garden.
