Den stora snackisen i MMA-världen under söndagen har varit det stora slagsmålet mellan Nick och Nate Diaz entourage och Khabib Nurmagomedovs gäng som ägde rum på lördagens WSOF 22-gala. Nu har första straffet för incidenten utdelats och det är Diaz-bröderna som får ta den största smällen.
I en intervju med MMA Interviews meddelar WSOF:s vice VD, Ali Abdel-Aziz, att han portat bröderna från all framtida galor.
I consider theses guys friends, Nick and Nate, but I’m very disappointed. 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.
I can’t have Nick and Nate come to a World Series of Fighting event again. 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.
Abdel-Aziz som är Khabibs manager nämnde inget om Khabibs ansvar i bråket eller om denne kommer att bestraffas för sin inblandning.
