McGregor and Woodley brief beef by the buffet goes social

As UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor struts and trumpets, UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley is all professional.

This image says it all. The first thing you see is McGregor swinging a chair over his head. But look a little left and you can see Woodley, relaxed and amused, taking it all in.

McGregor has spoken openly about challenging for the welterweight title after beating Eddie Alvarez, so perhaps his posturing is in his mind the beginning of the next fight.

It apparently began with a little face off by the buffet, narrated Animal Planet style by Ariel Helwani.

That set up a little bickering on Twitter.

And then there was a round 2.
