Nate Diaz and Dillon Danis were involved in an altercation following UFC 281.<\/p>\n
The event was held inside Madison Square Garden in New York City and both men were in attendance. A slap was thrown by Diaz, but not aimed at Danis in the video (via MMAJunkie<\/a>) below. The Stockton native later threw a drink in the vicinity of Danis’ entourage.<\/p>\n Diaz is no stranger to conflict outside of MMA fights. He recently got into a backstage altercation<\/a> with Jake Paul<\/a>‘s entourage during an event headlined by the social media star’s clash with Anderson Silva. Diaz and his team were escorted out of the building.<\/p>\n There is history between Diaz and Danis. The two have exchanged words since 2016. During a post-fight press conference following his rematch with Conor McGregor<\/a>, Diaz said that Danis was on his “hit list.”<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cThat jiu-jitsu coach he\u2019s got, you know I\u2019m going to get that motherf\u2014-er man,\u201d Diaz said. \u201cThat guy is on my hit list. This is America and he is over there representing with them?<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cAnd then he wants to load up at a press conference like he\u2019s hard. That\u2019s the reason that the fools got rushed at the press conference too is because they rolled up all making a scene like, \u2018We\u2019re the hardest shit in town.\u2019 \u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Danis responded, saying that he wouldn’t have minded fighting Diaz in an MMA bout<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know what that means, I\u2019m on his hit list,\u201d Danis said (transcribed by MMA Fighting). \u201cBut if he wants to do MMA, I\u2019ll fight him in MMA if he wants. He can do a CM Punk with me and bring me into the UFC. He can be my first fight. I\u2019ll fight him in a couple months, whatever he wants to do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n .@DillonDanis<\/a> and @NateDiaz209<\/a> nearly came to blows following #UFC281<\/a> \u2013\u00a0slaps and drinks were thrown. <\/p>\n Full story: https:\/\/t.co\/xaAk6DtrG2<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/UZyRYsEHKQ<\/a><\/p>\n — MMA Junkie (@MMAJunkie) November 13, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
