One of the stars of the first MMA event promoted by Most Valuable Promotions and broadcast by Netflix this Saturday (16), Nate Diaz continues to find ways to stay in the spotlight. Although he has to compete with names of the caliber of Ronda Rousey and Francis Ngannou for the spotlight, the bad boy caught the attention of fans and media by making a joke with one of the cameramen during the open training last Wednesday (13). Smoking a cigarette, the athlete simulated fighting with the man for a few seconds, generating a moment that went viral on social media.

In the video, the American fighter begins by shadowboxing in front of the camera, then starts simulating punches to the cameraman's face and waistline. Following that, the fighter also "attacked" with low kicks. Initially, the employee showed no reaction to Diaz's antics, until the MMA star made a move to take him down with a double-leg takedown. Nate stopped the movement after the man appeared slightly uncomfortable.
