Nate Diaz claims he came close to attacking his boss - UFC president Dana White - at a nightclub over a pay dispute in 2014.
The legendary former lightweight title challenger will leave the promotion after 15 years under their banner after he fights Khamzat Chimaev on Saturday night at UFC 279. After a rocky few years with the UFC where they failed to capitalise on his star-making win over Conor McGregor in 2016, Diaz will pursue other opportunities after a bitter break-up.
He has always had an up-and-down relationship with the promotion's boss White, who he once claims was minutes away from being "beat up" in a Las Vegas nightclub. Diaz was in town during season 20 of The Ultimate Fighter, where he was a coach on teammate Gilbert Melendez's team alongside fellow pal Jake Shields.
