UFC veterans Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal are scheduled to face each other in a boxing match on July 6. Ahead of their fight, the two mixed martial artists held a press conference in Anaheim, California to fix the date and venue for their bout. However, a wild brawl broke out between Masvidal, his team and Nate Diaz's team members, which turned into an ugly fight.
After the press conference, Masvidal and Diaz were supposed to face off but the latter left the stage while a major scuffle took place outside the venue between the members of the two fighters' teams that also involved Masvidal.
In a viral video on social media, members of Nate Diaz's team punched Jorge Masvidal's coach in the face, which sparked a massive brawl. The fight took place right outside the conference venue and Masvidal was also involved in the fight but Diaz didn't appear to be involved.

Masvidal and Diaz are set to face each other for the first time in a squared ring as the two fighters faced each other in November 2019 in the BMF title fight. At the UFC 244 in New York City, Masvidal dominated Diaz landing a heavy head kick that led to a cut over his right eye to ultimately win the first-ever BMF championship.
