Khabib Nurmagomedov Slap comes back to chase Nate Diaz
Nate Diaz claimed that the group of Khabib Nurmagomedov took photos from him.
Things escalated when he heard them that they called him a “b —” and laughs themselves.
Diaz got up and hit Nurmagomedov over the face, which almost started a riot.
A decade later he applied to coaching against Jon Jones about the Russian version of 'The Ultimate Fighter'.
On Wednesday it was confirmed that Jones vs Diaz was finished after a huge fight during filming.
Jake Shields has now revealed that Diaz's blow was in the vanguard in their minds on the way to a house full of Nurmagomedov countrymen.
“Nate and Khabib had a long-term feud. Nate actually hit him once,” he said during a YouTube video who recaptured his experience in the Russian reality TV show.
“They were in my fight, looked at my fight and Khabib took photos, tried to get Nate in the back, in an attempt to make him look like a fool. So Nate walked towards him and hit him.
“Personally I have a relationship with Khabib, but Nate is my boy, so I have his back”
“So, this long -lasting feud has happened. We head to the house, walk into the door and suddenly I realize that they are all Chechens and Russians.”
Why did Nate Diaz stop the show?
One hunter, who supposedly caused some controversy in previous seasons, looked at Diaz and when Shields came in to try to send a message to someone else trying, he claims that he was hit by one of the crew members.
As a result, Diaz and his team decided to leave there and they have not returned to film.
Shields explained: “As soon as a few boys tried to blit me, I look around, you know, a hundred guys. It's like, oh s -, I better deescalate this situation, don't go crazy.
“So at that moment we calmed, stayed a little longer there, but it was just chaos.
“There were almost fighting, people were beaten, it was just too much. We started bouncing, they tried to say that we could not leave. We are just like:” Nah, we are f— departure. “
Team Diaz was stalked for days after the wild fight by Russian hunters on motorcycles.
Fortunately there were no more collisions and everyone came out of the test relatively undamaged.
