LAS VEGAS – It was two hours and 14 minutes past his scheduled news conference start time Wednesday when Nate Diaz finally strolled into the room of reporters eagerly awaiting to hear from the most popular fighter on the card.
Of course, he wasn’t alone. Over a dozen other members of the Nick Diaz Army accompanied him. The mini-mob decked out in Represent Ltd. attire slowly dispersed in between the void spaces left by reporters at UFC 279 media day.
As he took to his designated table, Diaz in a plain black t-shirt, backward hat, and wearing a big chain pumped some music into the microphone as he sat down. He smiled, always polite despite not being the biggest fan of media activities.
