Very mixed martial arts // UFC fighters Khamzat Chimaev and Nate Diaz staged a fight involving a hundred people




One of the most high-profile incidents in mixed martial arts (MMA) history occurred a day before the start of the UFC 279 tournament at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Before the start of the press conference between the participants in the center bout, Swedish welterweight of Chechen origin Khamzat Chimaev and American veteran Nate Diaz, a verbal skirmish ensued, which resulted in a mass brawl involving more than a hundred people. None of the fighters were injured, but the UFC nevertheless decided to cancel the pre-match press conference "for the sake of everyone's safety" and significantly increase the number of security personnel at the event itself.
