Video: Relive the most iconic UFC octagon interview callouts

Ask and you shall receive.

Some of the greatest UFC matchups have been set up in post-fight octagon interviews, where fighters took control of their fates by calling their shots.

Just like Nate Diaz did, when he defeated Michael Johnson in 2015 and proceeded to take aim at Conor McGregor in one of the most iconic callouts in UFC history.

Diaz eventually got his wish when he stepped in on short notice to face McGregor at UFC 196, shocking the world with a second-round submission win to hand McGregor his first promotional loss.
