Nate Diaz has released a video blog detailing his experience on the Russian Ultimate Fighter clone in Thailand which ended with a big brawl.
Diaz was set to coach the show opposite Jon Jones, but he and his crew left one day into filming after getting into a scuffle with fighters and crew on the show. Jones said it was a bad idea on the part of the Russians to ‘try and play fight with Nate.’
Now Nate is showing what the situation was like from his POV in a 40 minute vlog on his YouTube channel.

Inside Fighting reporter Andrew Capucetti was embedded with Team Diaz and summed up the situation best.
“The reality show was f—ing stupid,” he said.
