Influencer N3on found himself in hot water after a confrontation with Nate Diaz at the final press conference for Diaz's upcoming boxing match against Jorge Masvidal. The young streamer, known for his bold antics, pushed his luck too far this time.
During the press event, N3on provocatively asked Diaz, “When you do get knocked out, are you going to retire?” The question, captured in a video, instantly enraged the UFC veteran. Diaz unleashed an expletive-laden tirade and threatened to kick N3on's leg. The situation escalated quickly, with footage later showing N3on being chased out of the venue while repeatedly shouting, “Please, I’m sorry!” He later claimed on social media that he was nearly attacked by Diaz’s entourage.
The highly anticipated Diaz vs. Masvidal boxing match is set for July 6 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. This 10-round professional bout marks a significant event in both fighters' careers. Their previous encounter in November 2019 at UFC 244 ended with Masvidal winning the BMF title via a third-round TKO, following a doctor’s stoppage.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the real consequences of disrespect, especially when directed at seasoned fighters like Nate Diaz. As the fight date approaches, the drama only adds to the anticipation of what promises to be a thrilling showdown.
