By Smith On Nov 13, 2022

Nate Diaz, who left the UFC in September, garnered headlines the same night the company returned to New York City. The former sensation had to be pulled away from Dillon Danis after an altercation outside Madison Square Garden on Saturday night, as seen in a viral video on social media.

Manager Audie Attar is seen in the video attempting to separate teams, Diaz and Danis. On the other hand, Nate got into an argument with one of Danis’ buddies and threw his trademark Stockton slap. UFC president Dana White brought up the incident during the post-fight news conference. He, for one, isn’t worried by such uproars, especially if Diaz is involved.

What did Dana White say?

“Wow, that’s unexpected. Did he actually do that?” White said sarcastically. “This stuff has already been sold out for quite some time. Nate phoned yesterday night and asked for tickets. Six tickets were required. Because we didn’t have six tickets to give him, he figured it out and received some food. “I expect something to happen every time they show up. “At this moment, nothing worries me.”

Tiger feat: Island Muay Thai gym is factory for UFC champions

Attracting fighters

Tiger Muay Thai gym on the southern resort island of Phuket was, before the coronavirus pandemic, attracting fighters from all over the globe lured by world-class training, an idyllic tropical beach lifestyle and a growing reputation.

Producing world champions

It has produced a string of fighters progressing into the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), the globe’s biggest mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion, with several going on to become world champions. Lightweight contender Rafael Fiziev (in pic), who is from Kyrgyzstan, steps into the cage in Las Vegas this weekend hoping to be the latest fighter to begin a journey to UFC glory.

Inspiration

MMA was one of the first sports to restart after the pandemic shutdown. Though quarantine and travel restrictions have hit international fighters hard, the success of UFC champions who use Tiger Muay Thai for pre-fight camps, such as bantamweight Petr Yan of Russia and Kyrgyzstan’s fearsome flyweight Valentina Shevchenko, is continuing to inspire the next generation.

Breeding success

George Hickman (in pic), MMA coach at Tiger Muay Thai said, “The fighters we have coming through help to breed success. Seeing them train inspires everyone. You can watch someone like Petr work on his clinch game with the Muay Thai fighters, then you can see that play out in his fights. He’s a sponge, and that’s what the great fighters are. They’re always looking for an edge and everyone learns from that.”

Explosive UFC talents

One of the most explosive UFC talents, middleweight champ Israel Adesanya of New Zealand, has also tapped into the gym as has Australian featherweight king Alexander Volkanovski. And Thailand’s first UFC star, strawweight Loma Lookboonmee, has caused an explosion of interest in MMA in her home country, encouraging fighters to make the move from traditional forms of combat such as kickboxing or Muay Thai.
