A big fight erupted backstage ahead of this weekend’s UFC gala.
Swede Khamza Shemayev started the fight against Kevin Holland, an opponent he never faced.
It was a totally bad show, says UFC president Dana White.
Before UFC 279 in Las Vegas, it was Nate Diaz, 37, the Swede Shemaev’s puns28, held a press conference before the main game.
According to ESPN, UFC President Dana White chose to cancel the press conference after Khamza Shemayev got into an argument with UFC fighter Kevin Holland, 29.
An opponent he doesn’t face at the party, even though they’ve been sending shoes to each other on social media and in interviews.
– Shitshow, overall show, says UFC president Dana White.
Everything went downhill when Swede Khamza Shemayev and Kevin Holland started arguing with each other backstage before the press conference.
According to journalist Ariel Halawani, Shemayev’s punches will have kicked Kevin Holland in the chest, and it will be the Swede’s reaction to things Kevin Holland said to him before the press conference that caused the quarrel.
Throwing bottles at each other
Then the Swede got into a fight with Nate Diaz and his team, who were in the same room. Then their teams began arguing with each other, among other things, throwing bottles at each other.
Then the whole thing was finally cancelled.
– Believe me when I say that this is the right decision not to hold this press conference now. For everyone’s safety, I apologize,” said UFC President Dana White.
On Instagram, the Swede sent a sad greeting to the Netherlands.
“I told them: Don’t joke with us. Kevin got what he deserved. Diaz got what he deserved,” he says with a wink, according to MMA Junkie.
Then Kevin Holland responded TwitterWhere the Swede is mocked.
