LAS VEGAS – Security ensured there was no serious incident between UFC lightweight champ Khabib Nurmagomedov and Nate Diaz in the crowd during Saturday’s UFC 239 event. Both Nurmagomedov (27-0 MMA, 11-0 UFC) and Diaz (19-11 MMA, 14-9 UFC) are in Las Vegas for International Fight Week. UFC 239 is the cornerstone event, and abundance of athletes are in attendance at T-Mobile Arena, including the two notables. Although it seems liked nothing serious occurred, there was certainly a confrontation of sorts between Nurmagomedov and Diaz, and a portion of it was caught on film.
