I can tell you that when you boxed Nate Diaz that night, there was a UFC Fight Night in Nashville, Tennessee… Dana dipped out of the arena, and after the fight, I was walking out, and we were like, ‘Oh, what’s up with Dana?’. We go into his room, and he’s just turned on you fighting Nate Diaz, and I watched you fight Nate Diaz with Dana…
