According to him, Nurmagomedov in the company of his team said something to him, and Diaz gave him a slap in the face. At the same time, according to the American, Nurmagomedov did not react to this in any way.

“Then I was angry, I should not have done this, it was stupid, but he mocked me. Now, Habib is playing Mr. Correct. He says that he doesn’t need thrash current and all that stuff. In the conflict with Conor, he took on the role of the victim, ”Diaz said.

Diaz’s next opponent will be Jorge Masvidal, with whom they will fight at UFC 244.

Earlier, Nurmagomedov’s father stated that he never considered McGregor a strong opponent for his son.
