Nate Diaz does not comprehend how he got all blended in some type of heated competition with UFC light-weight champ Islam Makhachev.
This previous December at the UFC 311 pre-fight interview, Diaz and Makhachev were associated with a quick backstage run-in where members from their particular groups tossed water bottles at each other before security stepped in to make sure the circumstance didn't intensify. Makhachev later on declared that the entire experience began with Diaz turning his group off with his middle finger and after that next thing you understand, water bottles went flying.
Now Diaz has actually reacted and states he didn't even understand Makhachev was with the group that tossed a water bottle at him.
[What the hell is] going on?,” Diaz composed on Instagram. “I didn't even understand Islam existed. I do not even understand which one he is. I was simply there to corner my young boy [Kron Gracie] and these [Ewoks] were searching for [trouble] tossed a bottle at me trying to find influence. [What the f*ck] did I do?”
After the occurrence went public, UFC flyweight competitor Brandon Royval in fact backed part of Diaz's claims after he states he experienced Makhachev's colleague Tagir Ulanbekov fire off the very first bottle of water, which almost struck him.
In the exact same interview where Makhachev attended to the water bottle tossing event, he likewise stated that he didn't understand why Diaz unexpectedly had an issue with him after they apparently had a shared regard after facing each other in an elevator at a different occasion.
“You understand what's fascinating, perhaps 5, 6 months earlier, I satisfy Diaz in the elevator in the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas,” Makhachev stated. “He goes to me and states, ‘Respect, regard, regard.' What altered now? A great deal of video cameras come and constantly individuals alter.
“We do not have something. If I have something with him, I can repair it in the Wynn Hotel. He came to me and stated ‘Respect' and then he go. When electronic camera comes, he's altering. And individuals believe I began this!”
That interaction obviously stuck in Makhachev's head when the water bottle occurrence occurred however Diaz declares he never ever really approached the UFC light-weight champ in any elevator much less informed him there was regard in between them.
“I never ever saw this guy in an elevator,” Diaz stated.”[What the f*ck?]I believed spiritual individuals didn't lie. [What the f*ck] is taking place? And [what the f*ck] occurred to champ. All you needed to do was state yes champ.”
There's no informing when Diaz and Makhachev may cross courses once again however it appears like there's no love lost in between these 2.
