Dana White pressed on nightclub altercation with Nate Diaz: ‘We were drinking’

UFC president Dana White confirmed on Tuesday that he almost got into a fight with Nate Diaz after the latter claimed he ‘almost beat Dana up’ at a nightclub in 2014.

White didn’t go into specifics but admitted that he and Nate almost came to blows after the two got into a heated argument while drinking at a club.

“Allegedly,” a smiling White said when asked about his near-altercation with Diaz (h/t MMA Fighting). “Allegedly. We were drinking.”

“Does anybody else have any other questions?” White added with a chuckle.

Diaz went into a bit more detail during his interview with ESPN, revealing the two started arguing after Diaz requested more money and better fights.
