Reporter slapped by Nate Diaz admits he deserved to be hit by UFC star

Full Send reporter Shawny Mack has admitted he deserved to be slapped by UFC star Nate Diaz for mocking his training partner's loss on social media.

Mack and Diaz were involved in a backstage altercation at UFC 267 in Las Vegas earlier this month. Mack was on his first assignment for Nelk Boys' new outlet Full Send MMA and Diaz took note of some previous tweets made by Mack which mocked his teammate Nick Maximov.

Mack explained how he edited a video of Diaz being asked about a fight with Khamzat Chimaev, only to offer up the fight to Maximov instead. "I took the song that goes 'Oh no, oh no' when the camera panned to Nick Maximov," Mack explained on the Full Send Podcast. "I played that and zoomed in on his face."
