MMA stars Nate Diaz and Israel Adesanya have both been involved in confrontations caught on camera this week, and you can see what happened in the videos below.
Diaz is no stranger to getting into scuffles and the latest in a long list of examples happened when he had a brief altercation with a bouncer at a club.
it’s not clear what sparked off the incident, but the bouncer can be seen pushing Diaz’s arm away at the start of the clip, which he doesn’t take kindly too, leading to Diaz pushing him in the face. The bouncer then shoves him back, before retreating as others from Diaz’s entourage come forward, at which point things seem to die down.

Meanwhile, Israel Adesanya has been filmed getting into a heated argument with an unidentified man on the street in Auckland, New Zealand while standing next to his Maclaren 270S Spider car.
Adesanya can be overheard telling a man in a hoodie and shorts “yeah, I get paid for that sh**,” and calling him a, “f***ing b***h,” as he opens the door to his car.
The man, whose own words aren’t audible in the video, then flexes his biceps at Adesanya, who tells him to, “walk away” and “go drive your beat up piece of s***.”
The man doesn’t heed his advice though and Adesanya says, “fight me, I pray for you to try me,” before appearing to spit at the man and slam his door shut.
The bystander filming the incident then drives off, but it’s believed that there was no physical altercation between Adesanya and the unidentified man.
Unfortunately there isn’t footage to show what happened to spark off the incident in the first place, but Adesanya has since given his version of events, claiming that the man had got out of his car and tried to fight him while giving him racial abuse.
“I am extremely disappointed after an incident on Wednesday when a random member of the public stopped his car, racially abused me, and challenged me to a fight,” Adesanya told the NZ Herald.
“We have been in contact with police and will be pressing charges.”
*BREAKING* Footage has emerged from the incident I reported on earlier today about Israel Adesanya's road rage clash, looks like it could've escalated into a fight after.
