Nick Diaz continues to keep things interesting on his Snapchat. At the start of the week the elder Diaz brother documented a drunken argument with USADA officials trying to drug test him. Following that bottle throwing incident at the UFC 202 press conference, he featured a teenage girl he claims was hit by McGregor during the melee. And now he’s sharing footage as he was refused entry to the UFC 202 weigh-ins.
This isn’t exactly unexpected. Shortly after the brawl, the MGM announced that all members of the Diaz and McGregor teams that weren’t cornermen were banned from the event. That included Nick Diaz because he’s not allowed to corner his brother in Nevada until he pays the state $70,000 over a failed drug test. Now it looks like Nick is persona non grata at the weigh-ins as well, and the UFC fighter is not happy about it.
“We just got thrown out the weigh-ins cuz these motherf*ckers won’t let us in,” Diaz complained as another apparently banned member of his entourage followed holding up footage from his own phone. “F*ck you. Anyone else can f*ckin’ hang out at the weigh-ins but they say ‘you gotta go.'”
That means there’s a very good chance Nick won’t be in the building at all when his brother faces off against Conor McGregor for the second time. It’s just one of the many repercussions that are now unfolding due to the irresponsible near-brawl the Diaz camp started on Wednesday.
