A press conference with the participation of Chimaev and Diaz was disrupted due to a skirmish between the teams of fighters.  About 100 people were involved in the fight.

UFC President Dana White said that the press conference between Swedish fighter of Chechen origin Khamzat Chimaev and American Nate Diaz has been cancelled.

The event for journalists was supposed to take place on the night of September 8-9, but did not take place due to security concerns. On the eve between the participant of the main fight of the tournament Chimaev and the American Kevin Holland, who is also scheduled to fight at UFC 279, there was a skirmish. Events developed after the appearance of Diaz’s team in the room. In total, about 100 people took part in the fight, according to White.

“This has never happened before in the history of this company. It’s the right decision not to have this press conference right now, trust me. For everyone’s safety, this is the right decision, White is quoted by MMAweekly.

– First there was a skirmish between Chimaev and Kevin Holland. She was shaken. But when the UFC was about to take Khamzat and Nate on stage, one of Nate’s team members threw something at Khamzat. And after that, the decision was made to cancel the conference,” ESPN journalist Brett Okamoto said via social media.

It is reported that after the incident, the teams of fighters continued the skirmish in the hotel.

Chimaev and Diaz will fight at UFC 279 on the night of September 11 in Las Vegas.

    Joshua picks opponents for Jake Paul after brutal knockout

    British heavyweight Anthony Joshua Who could be the next opponent of the American blogger jake paulIf he decides to continue his career.

    “Jake’s got spirit. He’s got guts. He did everything he could, and my hat’s off to him because, first of all, not a lot of fighters would get in the ring with me, but Jake did. Secondly, even after he got knocked down, he kept trying to get back up. I trust him.”

    So America, I believe you have a guy who could potentially come back again and his heart is still in it. He should dust himself off, come back, and maybe sell this arena in 2026. Maybe against Gervonta Davis or Ryan Garcia,” Anthony said.
