LAS VEGAS — The UFC and MGM were not kidding around.
Nick Diaz was not allowed into the UFC 202 ceremonial weigh-ins Friday at MGM Grand, Diaz confirmed with MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani. Diaz posted a video of him being denied entry on his Snapchat.
Diaz's brother Nate is fighting Conor McGregor in the main event of UFC 202 on Saturday at MGM's T-Mobile Arena. It's unclear if Nick will be allowed in the building to watch his brother's fight.
Earlier in the week, the UFC and MGM said members of Team Diaz and Team McGregor were going to be banned from UFC 202 events due to a bottle-throwing mess at the pre-fight press conference Wednesday.
