Brothers Nate and Nick Diaz They have a reputation for being brawlers, and this Friday (18) there was another episode that served to reinforce this image. Behind the scenes at UFC on FOX 17, an event that will take place on Saturday, in Orlando, in the United States, Nate was surprised by his opponent, also an American Michael Johnson, and almost got into a fight with his rival.

The images of the confusion were recorded by Tamdan McCrory, a fighter who will also participate in UFC on FOX 17. In the video, it is not possible to see exactly what caused the confusion, but it is possible to see the fighters exchanging pushes until they were separated by those present.

PUBLICITY:

Diaz and Johnson are in the second fight on the main card of the event. The former hasn't fought since December last year, when he lost to the current lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos; Johnson lost to Beneil Dariush in a controversial decision by the judges, at an event held in August.

Check out the images of the confusion:
