Nate Diaz produced a very interesting tweet in relation to the crazy behaviour of Conor McGregor and his team this evening.
The Irishman and his entourage turned up unannounced in Brooklyn for the UFC 223 press conference, causing chaos and attempting to hurl objects at the bus carrying the fighters.
'The Notorious' was stripped of the lightweight title ahead of Saturday night' event, where one of Khabib Nurmagomedov or Max Holloway will become the undisputed champion.

While McGregor's antics have been condemned by UFC and you'd suspect he'd be in a lot of trouble, Diaz, to the surprise of many, has actually come to the defence of his rival, posting the following two tweets:
Diaz was referencing the fracas Khabib was involved in with McGregor's SBG teammate Artem Lobov a few days back. Lobov has since been pulled from the bill.
Reliable MMA journalist Ariel Helwani provided the following detailed account of the situation:
Lightweight Michael Chiesa was injured in the mayhem, suffering "multiple cuts".

However, he is reportedly still planning to fight at the Barclays Centre
