The Diaz brothers were involved in another brawl. During the WSOF event on Saturday night, Nate Diaz (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/365/nate-diaz) and Nick Diaz (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/108/nick-diaz) had an incident with Khabib Nurmagomedov's (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/1480/khabib-nurmagomedov) camp that involved punches, kicks, and even beer being thrown.

Apparently the altercation started with Nate and Khabib before Nick Diaz followed up with the beer throw seen on the clip. After a brief separation things continue in another area of the arena.

"Nate went to Khabib and they just got talking," World Series of Fighting vice president Ali Abdel-Aziz told MMAFighting.com. "They exchanged words and Nate threw a punch. I saw Nate throw a punch."


The melee spilled into the stands until Nurmagomedov and Diaz were forcibly separated. Diaz was then escorted out of the area, but the furor resumed several minutes later, this time with Diaz's older brother Nick throwing himself into the fray. Video captured by MMA Interviews (http://www.mmafighting.com/2015/8/2/9086029/nick-diaz-throws-beer-at-khabib-nurmagomedov-in-wsof-show-brawl) shows the elder Diaz throwing a beer at Nurmagomedov, reigniting tensions before security and Abdel-Aziz are able to pull away the two parties.


"I consider theses guys friends, Nick and Nate, but I'm very disappointed," Abdel-Aziz said.


"I don't know what it is, both of them need to call Dana (White) and talk to him. Maybe they can fight and get over with it, because when people fight, they respect each other. But I'm just not happy about somebody throwing a beer bottle. There's a lot of kids, there's a lot of women. What happens if somebody's face got cut? One of them would've went to jail. I don't want to see Nate or Nick going to jail or their friend go to jail at my show."


The Diaz brothers were in attendance to support their longtime training partner Jake Shields (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/100/jake-shields), who lost via third-round submission to WSOF welterweight champion Rousimar Palhares (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/97/rousimar-palhares) in the night's main event, while Nurmagomedov was on hand to corner his younger brother Abubakar Nurmagomedov (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/3211/abubakar-nurmagomedov) as well as fellow countryman Islam Mamedov (http://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/3247/islam-mamedov).


Both Diaz brothers were escorted out of the arena following the bottle throwing incident, but that wouldn't be the end of it, as another wild brawl erupted directly outside of The Axis, with video again capturing Nate Diaz in the center of it (https://youtu.be/UbkrNxd4Oh0).


Las Vegas police eventually arrived to regain order to the scene. Nate Diaz was handcuffed and escorted away, but was not arrested.


"I can't have Nick and Nate come to a World Series of Fighting event again," Abdel-Aziz said. "I like these guys, but if they're not going to show me respect coming to the show, how can I let them back in?


"You've just got to be more professional in MMA. Nate and Nick, all the times I talk to them, they're good guys, but they need to start making a (positive) impression. I know they sell better because they don't care, but you're going to make people not like you if you do stuff like that. I know they don't care, it's attention, fights, guys want to fight each other. But you know what, fight each other in the cage. It was disappointing, to be honest with you."


Along with his position at WSOF, Abdel-Aziz is Nurmagomedov's manager. Nurmagomedov has been sidelined from the UFC due to a knee injury.


When asked Saturday night by MMAFighting.com, the undefeated Dagestani contender declined to comment on the situation.

Don't fuck with the Diaz boys, everyone talks shit and than they are surprised when they follow up. They don't fuckin play, respect them and they respect you, you talk shit about them, they confront you. They are fighters, real fighters, what do people expect.

i love having friends who will actually fight along side you when the shit hits the fan, really something to be said for dudes like that in my book. i might not agree with their philosophies or methods for trying to convey them, but those dudes aren't fake, and i'd love to have nick or nate on my side in a street fight.

Yeah they are def real as fuck, and the funny thing is they discourage violence. They are cool motherfuckers from everything I have seen. I have seen them in 2 vids telling other people to not fight, Nick has straight up said he doesn't understand how fighters say I wanna fuck this person up or hurt them etc, he's like it's a competition, I don't like them bc they always sign to fight me first, but I don't want to plan to injure someone. And also saw them punch Mayhem in the face when he fucked with Jake Shields after Shields' win. Like wrong group to fuck with for real. Nick also said when he was training for a triathlon he almost got hit by a car and flicked them off, and two huge dudes got out of the car and took him down, he couldn't get up , but was laughing at them as they were both hitting him lol
Nick is def one of my all time favorite fighters, he called out Anderson Silva when NO ONE wanted to fight hi, when the fight was made, he went up to 185 to make it happen, he can and has made 155. WHo else has done that type of shit?

Exactly, which is another real ass dude, he just wanted to compete. Didn't need to hand select his competition, and didn't even need to train
