Video: Dana White & Nate Diaz Share Awkward Moment At UFC Phoenix
Dana White & Nate Diaz had an interesting interaction backstage at UFC on ESPN 1 on Sunday night. The relationship that White has with the Diaz brothers has always been rocky.
Diaz has not been seen in the Octagon since his rematch with Conor McGregor back at UFC 202. He suffered a majority decision loss five months after submitting McGregor in their first bout at UFC 196.
Nate was supposed to make his return at UFC 230 against Dustin Poirier in a lightweight bout. It’s been well documented that there has been a lot of drama with making this fight happen. Poirier was injured and Diaz pulled out of the event altogether. The fallout started when Diaz and Poirier claimed on social media that they would be fighting for a newly created 165-pound title at UFC 230. However, White stated that’s not the case.

It all started when Megan Olivi tried to get a little something from Diaz there when she asked, “Nate, are we gonna see you soon, or what?” This led to Diaz replying, “Yeah, we’re coming.” White made it clear that Diaz won’t return to the Octagon soon.
