Diaz has had a vit past with Dagestani and Chechen hunters during his illustrious combat sport career. Years ago he struck UFC Hall of Famer Khabib Nurmagomedov while in the audience for one of the fights of Shields, and his planned fight with Khamzat Chimaev on UFC 279 was canceled because of a backstage fighter party and Chimaev's Botched Weight Cut.
The tensions remain high between Diaz and many top Russian MMA stars, despite the fact that Diaz's post-cone 279 departs from the promotion. Diaz has since fought twice in the boxing ring and lost to Jake Paul in his debut before he defeated former BMF -enemy Jorge Masvidal last year.
After Diaz, Shields and the rest of their team left the set of the show, several Russian hunters followed them through the area on motorcycles. Although it is uncertain whether Diaz is still in Thailand, he and his team were almost jumped by various hunters involved in the internal chaos on the set.
Shields shared images of hunters who talk and set out places to spy on Diaz and his team after the incident, which you can watch on the time -stamped video below. During a recent episode of Shields' Fight Back Podcast, Shields responded to the aftermath images.
“People sent me videos from the Russian Instagram, TV and things that are supposedly looking for us around Thailand from these Russian and Chechen hunters,” Shields said. “The driver drove us to our hotel, they knew exactly where we were, we were in the same area for three, four days and walked around and went to exactly the same places.
“Everyone knew where we were, we were Chillin” where we were. They just tried to act hard. “
Despite the abrupt cancellation of the show, Jones remains in Thailand and this week it is in conversation to train with Alex Pereira. Pereira and Jones are working on a potential return to the Octagon after both confused fans become pensions before pension earlier this month.
