UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev got into a scuffle with Nate Diaz backstage after the UFC 311 press conference in Las Vegas.

Footage has emerged of Diaz and team Makhachev trading a few verbals before Diaz tells Makhachev to “pull up”.

Not for the first time Diaz then launched a water bottle towards Makhachev and his team before security stepped in.

Alex Pereira was a picture of calmness watching on.
