Nate Diaz is known for his slaps. Sometimes they are good, sometimes they aren’t. An incident that falls into the latter category happened backstage at UFC 276. The UFC Star was seen slapping a reporter who apparently said or did something that did not sit well with him. The entire story behind the whole incident is yet to come to light. 

Diaz has been out of action for more than a year now and last fought against Leon Edwards at UFC 263 in June 2021. He had suffered a decision loss in the fight which was his second straight loss after suffering a doctor’s stoppage defeat to Jorge Masvidal at UFC 244.

He had picked up a win against Anthony Pettis prior to his BMF title showdown with Masvidal. Diaz currently holds a record of 20-13 to his name and is 2-3 in his last five fights with his second win coming against Conor McGregor.
