Nate and Khamzat got into a brawl that encompassed almost a 100 people
Nate Diaz and Khamzat Chimaev got into a brawl of epic proportions that ultimately led to a press conference being cancelled for the first time in promotional history. The two fighters and their entourage got caught up in a brawl that included at least 4-5 fighters featured on tomorrow’s main card.
While reports say the scuffle started due to a verbal back and forth between Kevin Holland and Chimaev going South, while others allege tensions actually rose when Paulo Costa tried to confront Chimaev after their encounter earlier this week.
However Dana has confirmed that all the remaining formalities of fight week shall carry on as they were with the small exception that security will be heightened. Dana also confirmed that none of the fighters were injured and no worries currently existed about any fight falling out.
The situation got so out of hand because of the sheer number of people involved, with White alleging that between the Diaz and Chimaev crews, there were at least 100 people on site.
