A popular streamer was chased down by Nate Diaz's team after he aimed a 'disrespectful' question at the UFC legend during a final pre-fight press conference.

The much-anticipated boxing match between Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal will take place at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California on Saturday, July 6.

Diaz, who was beaten by Masvidal at UFC 244, when the pair went head-to-head for the BMF championship, will be looking to avenge his loss in New York City.

It will be a ten-round light-heavyweight bout, with the undercard featuring a host of names, including former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis.

Ahead of fight night, both Diaz and Masvidal took part in a heated final press conference on Wednesday as they invited questions from those in attendance.

And at the press event in California, teenage streamer N3on infuriated UFC legend Diaz when he asked: “When you do get knocked out, are you going to retire?”

A furious Diaz proceeded to go off on an expletive-filled rant, threatening to kick his leg. "It's little s*** kids like this b**** that are changing the times," he added.

Shortly after the press room incident, footage emerged of N3on being chased out of the venue as he pleaded for forgiveness.

He then described the incident in two posts on X, formerly Twitter.

"WALLAHI ON MY MOTHERS HEARTBEAT I ALMOST GOT JUMPED," he wrote. "F*** THIS S*** AND F*** ALL OF U FOR SAYING THIS S***. I ALMOST GOT BEATEN TO ACTUAL DEATH BY HIS BOYS F** ALL OF U."

N3on added: "On my life I’m about to be done with this b******. I just got ran after by grown ass 40 year olds and I ran into a road with driving cars and went into a dead end in a parking garage and I see this. I’m good off this fake ass love."

Diaz's only professional boxing bout to date was a unanimous decision defeat to Jake Paul in August, while Masvidal's only fight came 19 years ago, when he defeated Joseph Benjamin in a majority decision over four rounds back in 2005.

Masvidal is in confident spirits ahead of his second-ever boxing match.

“I’m meaner. I’m faster. I’m more explosive. And when it comes down to it, I think I’ve got the best hands in MMA," Masvidal said.

“On July 6, I get to prove that. No questions, no nothing. We’re going to find out. There’s none of that jiu-jitsu (stuff), none of that hugging, it’s just straight hands.”
