Former UFC superstars Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal have gone full guns blazing in reviving their old rivalry. The two will face off in a boxing match in a few weeks. However, things spiraled out of hand when a brawl broke out during their recent press conference.
After the brawl, when Diaz talked to a reporter, Masvidal again showed up in the distance. However, the Stockton native was ready for the altercation. Diaz warned Masvidal and asked him to come and fight face-to-face again.
F*** you looking at. Come here and get you’re f****** a**es whipped then. Yeah, turn around b****.

The press conference occurred in Anaheim, California, where the former UFC fighters went off against each other on the mic. After subsequently hurling insults at each other, it was time to get face-to-face. However, this took a nasty turn, which involved punches and kicks being thrown by both teams.
Jorge Masvidal and Diaz go way back and have fought in the UFC for the iconic BMF belt in the past. However, nobody had expected their boxing rivalry to have this much animosity. While the brawl captured attention, it also included some other big names from the boxing world.

The fight was originally slated to take place on June 2. Due to clashing dates with UFC 302, they had to reschedule it to July. For this, Jorge Masvidal blamed Diaz and blamed him for bad business strategy. However, as the promoter of the fight, Masvidal might take this brawl as good publicity for the fight.
