Khamzat Chimaev has told Nate Diaz he "got what he deserved" after being warned not to mess with his team at a press conference last night.
The Swede is due to face promotional legend Diaz on Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena in the main event of UFC 279, with a press conference scheduled for last night. However, the seemingly standard event was called off at the last second after a backstage melee involving the fighters' teams going at one another.
Reports indicate that the incident began when Kevin Holland, who faces Daniel Rodriguez in one of the main card's most exciting bouts, got into with Chimaev and his team. It is said to have ultimately devolved into something of a brawl with both teams as well as Diaz's crew getting involved and a stop ultimately being put to the public press conference.
