Nate Diaz waited anxiously for an offer from UFC regarding his next fight, but apparently decided to handle matters himself on Saturday night.
An impromptu interview on backstage at UFC ended in Diaz knocking out a reporter before slapping him in the face.
The reporter asked if Diaz showed up to watch Sean O’Malley’s fights and that prompted the response from the veteran lightweight and welterweight contender where he said “you better watch those tweets” before the sound cut out.
A second later, Diaz knocked the microphone out of his hand followed by the slap across the face that sent the reporter away from the fighter.
Security standing nearby didn’t seem all that bothered by the incident and there were no other reports about the incident backstage.
The altercation did not seem staged at all, at least according to Diaz’s conduct during the encounter. However, it is impossible to determine what caused the slap.
