Nate Diaz And Jorge Masvidal Get In Massive Brawl At Press Conference Ahead Of Big Fight

by

Although there won’t be a fight between Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal for another month, the action was intense during their press conference on Thursday, with Masvidal getting caught up in a rough altercation. Soon after Diaz rushed off the stage without engaging in a ceremonial face-off with his opponent, it all happened in Anaheim. Although it’s unclear what triggered it all, we’re going to assume it’s trash talk. A video of the altercation shows Masvidal smacking a man’s hand down before the fistfight broke out.

With one guy falling into the chairs and tipping the entire row over, it looks like the crews of the two fighters were inflicting the most damage on each other. Masvidal is being ordered to be secured by security, although the mayhem looked to last for at least a minute. A member of Diaz’s group was once quite loudly chirping at Masvidal, calling him a “b*tch.” After the fight, cooler heads eventually won out. At least that’s what we believed, but not before Nate and Jorge saw each other inside and began yelling at one another across a hallway.

Nate Diaz And Jorge Masvidal Brawl At Press Conference

The purpose of the press conference was to announce the revised time and venue for the impending Diaz-Masvidal bout. The presser was held in Anaheim, California. The boxing battle was moved from the Kia Forum in Inglewood to the Honda Center in Anaheim on July 6. The fight was initially set for June 1. The last time the two fighters faced off in the UFC for the first-ever BMF title in 2019, tensions were already quite high. The much-awaited meeting came to an abrupt end when Diaz’s eye cut caused a doctor to break up the fight.

Although Masvidal was declared the winner and became the inaugural BMF champion, the two fighters have since harbored unresolved grudges that they attempted to resolve in a boxing arena. However, Diaz didn’t seem at all interested in taking part in the press conference on Thursday. Overall, the bad blood between the pair will be on display in the octagon. If the fight doesn’t somehow get canceled beforehand.

Conor McGregor Reveals He Almost Died In Biking Accident

Conor McGregor is currently in the midst of getting back into shape for his return to the Octagon. At this point, no one is sure when he will officially come back. Overall, there is a lot of politics within the UFC, and Dana White has to navigate some matchup possibilities before making a decision for McGregor.

Although, you can tell that McGregor is ready for anything. In recent pictures, he has been looking more jacked than ever before. There is this real sense that he could end up in a higher weight class, especially with his new physique. However, nothing has been confirmed.

Conor McGregor Avoids Disaster

Unfortunately, McGregor’s comeback hopes could have been dashed earlier this morning. According to the UFC star on Instagram, he was hit by a car while on a bike ride. Thankfully, he was able to escape without any big injuries. However, he noted that he could have died.

“Got a bang of a car just now from behind. A sun trap, the driver couldn’t see me. Full speed straight thru me,” McGregor wrote. “Thank you God, it wasn’t my time. Thank you wrestling and judo also. Having an awareness on the landing saved my life.”

Based on the videos, it seems like the man who hit him stopped the car and offered some aid. In fact, McGregor was seen in the front seat of the car as his bike was being transported. Overall, everyone seems to be doing just fine, albeit a bit shaken up by everything that transpired.

Moving forward, McGregor will be focusing on his return to the Octagon. Let us know who you think he should fight, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH as we will continue to bring you updates from around the sports world.
