NATE DIAZ was called out by Bellator champion AJ McKee, to'squash beef' after their brawl prior to Jake Paul's last fight.
They were there to support their training partners Anthony Taylor, Chris Avila and Paul undercard fighters.
AJ McKee exhorted Nate Diaz "squash the beef"
At one of the media days, McKee and Diaz were involved in a brawl between opposing teams.
The Bellator king now wants to settle the scores inside the cage as the 'head honcho' of their rival camps.
CBS Sport reported that he said: "Things have escalated a bit quickly. Nate still has one fight. There are many more. But it doesn't matter to me.
"If there is a problem, these [fists] can solve it for us.
"He is from that era. "I grew up in that era, and I have seen that era. All this and more is not necessary.
"Let's leave the issues to these people. It's 1-1 so far with Anthony and Chris Avila.

"I know what it's like, but he should see it and feel it so he can understand it."
"I don’t care about what weight class. 150, 170. Right now, I am walking around 160, 165. Let me know 170 so I can show you what I have to offer."
Avila, 28 years old, beat Taylor, 32-year-old, in eight rounds in a boxing rematch after losing in MMA.
McKee, 26 years old, opened up about how the altercation started with Diaz (36), days before.
He said: "I don’t know where it all began with Anthony, but at the end the day, Anthony won’t be touched in my presence. Period.
"You understand what I'm referring to? If any of my boys have an issue, or if I'm with them, no of my boys will touch them.
"It's not fair that they beat Ant up on the street. I won't go and find Nate. He won't be touched while I stand there.
"I don’t care if it’s Chris Avila or Nate Diaz. He won't be touched.
"I also have my four-year old brother. You can be sure that I don't seek trouble unless it is necessary.
"He tried to get to Anthony by sneaking around in that situation. My boy Rhys was not having it. He squatted. He was a good guy.
"At that point I mean, hey! When people are squaring-up you know what happens after square-up - punches are thrown."
