Nate Diaz And Khabib Nurmagomedov Had Altercation At UFC 239, Security Intervened!
Khabib Nurmagomedov and Nate Diaz have beef history. “The Stockton Slugger” slapped the undefeated Dagestani during a brawl at WSOF in 2015. So each time the two meet, security should be on high alert.
Unfortunately, their paths crossed again at UFC 239, which went down tonight (Sat., July 6, 2019) from inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The incident happened while the two watched the bouts. Khabib was in attendance, while Nate Diaz came to support his teammate Gilbert Melendez, who squared off against Arnold Allen and lost the bout via decision.
Videos show Nate arguing with Khabib’s team in the crowd. Take a look at them carefully! Luckily, security got in the middle between them and the situation didn’t escalate.
