The reporter asked White if he know why Diaz was at the event and if he had any conversation with him. He also asked for his reaction to the scuffle. White revealed that Diaz had called the previous night asking for six tickets. However, they could not help him as the event had already been sold out.

White added that he talked to Nate Diaz saying “it’s all good” between them. He also said he expected something to happen every time team Diaz showed up.
