Nate Diaz unleashed a profane, homophobic rant at a social media influencer who was ultimately chased out of Wednesday's press conference ahead of the UFC legend's upcoming boxing match against Jorge Masvidal.
'That little b**** boy? Little p****, f*****,' Diaz said in his unmistakable Stockton, California drawl. 'I'm gonna kick you in your f***ing leg, mother***er. Hey PS, f*** you.'
The incident ended with the influencer – a Kick streamer known as 'N3ON' – being chased out of the press conference in Anaheim by a group of men purportedly belonging to Diaz's entourage.
DailyMail.com's messages to Diaz's publicist and to N3ON's business account have gone unanswered.
Diaz's reaction was prompted by an incendiary question from N3ON: 'When you do get knocked out are you gonna retire?'

But for all of the vitriol Diaz would direct at the streamer, the former UFC star's immediate reaction to the question was rather calm.
'Who said that, so I know who you are?' Diaz asked in a tranquil tone.
The streamer, whose real name is Rangesh Mutama, is seen fidgeting nervously in the crowd before trying to walk back his inflammatory question.
'I have a lot of respect for everyone, man,' N3ON said. 'I wanna see a great fight.'
Diaz was unmoved.
'F*** you,' he said before extending his middle finger.
'It's little s*** kids like this bitch that's like… changing the times,' Diaz continued. 'Get your little a** whooped.
'I got girls over where who will f*** you up.'
And with that, a publicist asked if there were 'any more media questions' before quickly ending the press conference.

N3ON's own Kick.com stream of the event showed his preparation for the press conference, his question, and the nervous moments after rattling Diaz's cage.
'Can I just stand next to you?' N3ON asked a security guard as passersby offered their thoughts on the matter.
'Stop being a p****,' one man said to N3ON.
'Watch your back,' advised another.
That advice would prove prescient as N3ON was soon chased out of the building by a group of men portrayed on the Kick.com feed as Diaz's entourage.
Curiously, N3ON makes several references to Masvidal during the madness.
'I'll call Masvidal, let's get in the car,' N3ON told his crew before later repeating: 'I need to call Masvidal.'
Masvidal's publicist did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com's request for comment.
Earlier footage, prior to Diaz's profane rant, showed N3ON gathering protection in preparation for his inflammatory question.
'We got goons around us,' N3ON tells the camera during the press conference. 'We got goons around us.
'We're recruiting a team,' he continued. 'I need 10 black people around me.'

N3On actually asked Diaz two questions, the first of which was decidedly less provocative.
'Who inspired you when you were first up and coming when you were boxing?' N3ON is seen asking Diaz, who named Oscar De La Hoya among several other pugilists.
'That's amazing man,' N3On said before continuing his habit of repeating himself. 'That's amazing.'
N3ON's video skips around a bit, briefly showing him directing anti-Hispanic and anti-gay slurs at another streamer.
When the footage does return to his dramatic escape from the press conference, N3ON is seen nervously announcing 'I'm sorry' to others in the parking area outside the hotel where Wednesday's press conference took place.
Diaz is 0-1 as a boxer after losing to Jake Paul by unanimous decision in August of 2023.
