It quickly became the talk in MMA, with one fan saying "What's wrong?
Another stated: "The look on bro's face of terror when he realized what was going to happen."
Another said, "He slapped off his hat."
One commented, "Bro didn’t even say anything offensive.
Another voiced his opinion: "Shouldn’t have talked s**t to him."
Since his UFC 263 loss to Leon Edwards, Diaz, 37 has not been in the octagon.
Although the former lightweight title challenger is eager to end his contract with the promotion, he has not yet been booked.
Diaz repeatedly asked the UFC to release him from his contract. He has apparently set his sights on a match with Jake Paul in boxing.
The Ultimate Fighter Season Five Winner tweeted late last month with a video of Tyron Woodley's KO: "UFC Release Now Please or Give Me a Fight With Anyone in July or August."
"I have more s*** to do."
