 Former UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub
saw Nate Diaz backstage after the fight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor
McGregor and wanted to talk to him-then trouble started. Schaub approached Diaz
to talk about a possible third fight against McGregor and things didn’t go well.
According to Schaub, “I see Nate Diaz and he’s by himself, like no one’s really
by him, he’s by himself and he’s on his phone. I see him and I think same
fraternity, UFC guys and there’s no UFC representatives there really. There’s
Dana White, I didn’t see him at the fight and I figured brothers in arms. But I
was going towards him because he looked busy and whether he wanted my help or
not I figured I know a few things about marketing, the next fight for him is
Conor. I’m assuming he’s there to sell that fight. That should be the next
fight, Conor versus Nate Diaz 3, the trilogy, that’s the fight. So I was going
to go to him because I saw some interviews with him where he was kind of hating
on Conor and I would have spun it the other way. He should have celebrated Conor
and what he did winning rounds against the best of all time and saying look I
beat him up worse than Floyd and now we’re going to do this trilogy, I’m going
to end him faster than Floyd did. That should be the sell; I was going to go
talk to him about this.” Diaz didn’t react well to being approached and began a
rant that ended up on social media. It was also in front of multiple Showtime
executives who wondered what Diaz’ problem was. |
