The ex-UFC star has quickly backtracked on his recent comment about ‘Do Bronx’.
Despite not competing in the Octagon since fighting out his contract in 2022, Diaz is never too far from the UFC headlines.
The Stockton star does not shy away from giving his thoughts on the current landscape in the promotion, and he most recently had his sights on Max Holloway vs. Charles Oliveira at UFC 326.
After Diaz predicted Holloway will remain BMF champion in the main event on March 7, he said he would slap Oliveira.
But it has not taken long for the fan favorite to regret that threat.

Diaz took to social media, first to clarify who his slap threat was directed at and then to apologize for issuing it.
“I didn’t say I’d slap Max (Holloway), I said that about (Oliveira) but I shouldn’t have said that either it was rude and I was fd up,” Diaz wrote.
“If we were fighting in a caged match I might attempt it but that was rude I shouldn’t have said that my bad Bruhs all Respecto,” he added.
