Brendan Schaub was front and center during the Showtime broadcast’s of the Mayweather vs. McGregor media tour, primarily showing support for the UFC Lightweight Champion.
Nate Diaz has fought the UFC Lightweight Champion, twice, defeating him at UFC 196 and suffering a defeat to him at UFC 202.
Backstage, after “The Money Fight” came to a conclusion, the two got into a heated argument.
The encounter was captured on film by @OJEntertainment:

As you can probably guess, the retired heavyweight fighter is praising the performance of McGregor, while Diaz is taking things in a different direction.
Things seem to almost turn physical between the two at the end of the short video clip, but apparently cooler heads prevailed as Schaub and Diaz didn’t come to blows. Diaz hasn’t competed at all since the last meeting with McGregor at UFC 202, but a third fight between the two has been on fans minds for quite awhile now.
