Welp, the fights were supposed to be tomorrow ... but, fighters gon' fight.
Nate Diaz, UFC fighter Nick Maximov, Chris Avila and the 209 crew nearly came to blows with Bellator champ A.J. McKee, Anthony Taylor, and their guys on Friday ... and we got the vid.
Of course, 28-year-old Avila is fighting 32-year-old Taylor Saturday night in Tampa ... before Jake and Tyron square up for a second time.
There's a history here -- both guys fought in Bellator in 2020, with Taylor getting the win.
