Nate Diaz slaps NELK Full Send reporter in UFC 276 interview over \u201ctweets\u201d YouTube: Full Send MMAUFC fighter Nate Diaz slapped a reporter working for the NELK Boys\u2019 Full Send brand in a post-event interview at UFC 276, leaving the reporter stunned. Shawn Mack is a reporter for Full Send MMA on YouTube, with the Full Send and NELK crew having a strong long-term relationship with the UFC. They have close ties with UFC president Dana White and can often be seen around the octagon, watching the box office events unfold and celebrating their wins. Unfortunately for them, that doesn\u2019t automatically mean that the UFC fighters will love everything that they do, as Mack found out at UFC 276. When the cameras were rolling and Mack started speaking with Diaz, saying that he had \u201ccome to check out \u2018Suga\u2019 Sean [O\u2019Malley].\u201d Things escalated quickly, though, as Diaz ignored Mack\u2019s prompt to speak about O\u2019Malley and instead took the opportunity to scold the reporter before lashing out. Warning him that he \u201cbetter watch his tweets\u201d that he had made regarding Diaz\u2019s team, a sheepish Mack simply said \u201cOh, I know,\u201d before Diaz slapped the microphone in his hand and the hat off of his head. The post many believe to have sparked Diaz\u2019s frustration has been removed, with Mack allegedly making fun of Nate Diaz Academy star Nicholas Maximov in it. Mack has taken to Instagram to respond to the situation though, saying: \u201cI knew what I was getting into when I signed up for it. Never been one to shy away from putting my opinion out there. My first weekend on the job and I got Stockton slapped.\u201d View this post on Instagram While it didn\u2019t look as though Mack got hurt in the confrontation, it may have dented his ego a little. As suggested in his Instagram post, Mack clearly has no desire to let this stop him from pursuing his MMA reporting \u2014 but what a way to make your entrance into the space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
