| LAS VEGAS -- Conor McGregor was on one side. Standing across from him was Donald Cerrone. It was Friday afternoon at Park MGM, the intense final stare-down for the blockbuster UFC 246 main event. In between the two men and slightly behind them is a spot usually reserved for UFC president Dana White to make sure nothing gets physical before they enter the Octagon. This time, Summer Tapasa-Sataraka was in White's place. Tapasa has gained worldwide attention as the star of a viral video that shows her physically blocking a would-be thief from taking off with a speaker from Best Buy, her place of employment. White saw the video, found out that Tapasa is no longer with Best Buy and had her flown out to Las Vegas for UFC 246 fight week. Suddenly, the 24-year-old from Hawaii was front and center for the faceoff between the most popular fighter in UFC history and the winningest fighter in UFC history. "It was amazing," Tapasa told ESPN. "I was like, I cannot believe I'm here in this moment. In this particular spot -- I can't believe it. It's unbelievable."
