Khabib Nurmagomedov, Nate Diaz separated by security cageside at UFC 239
LAS VEGAS – Security ensured there was no serious incident between UFC lightweight champ Khabib Nurmagomedov and Nate Diaz in the crowd during Saturday’s UFC 239 event.
Both Nurmagomedov (27-0 MMA, 11-0 UFC) and Diaz (19-11 MMA, 14-9 UFC) are in Las Vegas for International Fight Week. UFC 239 is the cornerstone event, and abundance of athletes are in attendance at T-Mobile Arena, including the two notables.
Although it seems liked nothing serious occurred, there was certainly a confrontation of sorts between Nurmagomedov and Diaz, and a portion of it was caught on film.

ESPN’s Brett Okamoto delivered some follow-up reporting on the situation. He said nothing got physical between the two sides, who downplayed what happened (via Twitter):
This isn’t the first time Nurmagomedov and Diaz have crossed paths outside the cage at an MMA event. They got into a near-brawl at a WSOF (now PFL) event in August 2015, which was far more serious.
Nurmagomedov is no stranger to incidents at T-Mobile Arena, having been involved in a post-fight brawl after his victory over Conor McGregor at UFC 229 in October, for which both he and McGregor were suspended and fined.
