Nate Diaz and Islam Makhachev’s Teams Clash in Bottle-Throwing Incident at UFC 310 Weigh-Ins

Things got heated at the UFC 310 ceremonial weigh-ins when Nate Diaz and Islam Makhachev’s teams engaged in a wild backstage confrontation that quickly escalated into a bottle-throwing fiasco.

The altercation occurred as the UFC hosted a promotional event for UFC 311, where Islam Makhachev is set to defend his UFC Lightweight Championship against Arman Tsarukyan. With tensions already high, the presence of former UFC star Nate Diaz led to an unexpected clash. Both camps reportedly crossed paths, and water bottles were hurled from both sides in a chaotic scene that was captured on video and shared by ESPN MMA.

Diaz, never one to shy away from conflict, was in Las Vegas to support a teammate competing at UFC 310. The fiery confrontation brought back memories of his infamous 2015 altercation with Khabib Nurmagomedov, during which Diaz slapped the former lightweight champion. Fans may also recall the unforgettable chaos at the UFC 202 pre-fight press conference, where Diaz and Conor McGregor’s teams launched bottles and cans at each other, forcing the event’s cancellation.

This latest incident underscores Diaz’s knack for stirring the pot in and out of the Octagon. As for Makhachev’s team, the tension could signal heightened emotions heading into UFC 311, which promises to be an explosive event.
