Filed under: Featured , Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos Nate Diaz and his UFC on FOX 17 opponent, Michael Johnson , had a dustup prior to today official fighter weigh-ins. And fellow UFC on FOX 17 fighter Tamdan McCrory was there to capture the video. McCrory (13-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC), who fights fellow middleweight Josh Samman (12-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC) on Saturday’s prelims, today posted video of the brief confrontation between main-card lightweights Diaz (17-10 MMA, 12-8 UFC) and Johnson (16-9 MMA, 8-5 UFC). Here’s the footage, apparently from the host hotel in Orlando, Fla., which hosts Saturday’s network-televised event (via Instagram ). I have heard about this happening but I didn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes.!! @ufc #ufcorlando #209 @natediaz209 A video posted by Tamdan “The Barn Cat” McCrory (@thebarncatmma) on Dec 18, 2015 at 7:39am PST Although the camera work is a little shaky and it doesn’t show what led to the initial confrontation, it seems to show Johnson walking up to Diaz, who quickly gives him a shove.
