Nate Diaz launched a water bottle at Islam Makhachev and his camp at the UFC 310 weigh-ins.

Tagir Ulanbekov and Magomed Zaynukov were part of Islam’s team. Zaynukov reacted by throwing something back at Nate, which is when security intervened to diffuse the situation. Islam was present at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas for the UFC 311 on-sale press conference, which took place before the ceremonial weigh-ins for UFC 310. Islam will defend his UFC Lightweight Title against Arman Tsarukyan at UFC 311.

Diaz may simply be laying the foundations for a future fight with Makhachev. Nate has not had a UFC fight since 2022 when he beat Tony Ferguson at UFC 279. However, he has become one of the most iconic fighters in the UFC’s history following his two fights with Conor McGregor. He beat McGregor during their first clash at UFC 196 before losing the rematch at UFC 202.

A trilogy has long been discussed. However, McGregor’s recent liability for a civil 𝑠e𝑥ual assault lawsuit means that any talk of a trilogy is not going to happen. Nate is also coming off a majority decision win against Jorge Masvidal in a boxing fight. That avenged his loss to Masvidal at UFC 244 in 2019, when Jorge became the BMF Champion. Nate’s team has said previously that he would like to return to the UFC.
