"Gang sh*t", "Scary, scary, crew!" - Fans react to UFC veteran linking up with Nate Diaz and Rampage Jackson

MMA fans recently voiced their opinions after witnessing a former UFC fighter linking up with Nate Diaz and Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson. A snap on X showcased the three UFC personas together and garnered reactions from fans.

The fighter in discussion is the former UFC welterweight title challenger Jake Shields. The 45-year-old has been a long-time member of Nick and Nate's entourage and has also cornered both the Diaz brothers for their fights. Shields became bosom friends with the Diaz brothers after training with them for years in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. He has also gotten into several street brawls with his buddies by his side.

However, surprisingly, the snap in Shields's recent X update also showcased the former UFC light heavyweight champ, 'Rampage' Jackson, joining him alongside Nate Diaz and former Bellator welterweight, Joe Schilling. The caption of the post read:

"Out with Rampage, Nate Diaz and Joe Schilling"

Several MMA fans have witnessed Shields facing his adversaries with Diaz by his side. The comments, however, showcased that fans were taken aback by the super-team created by Jackson and Schilling's addition to it. One such comment read:

"Gang s*it"

Others concurred:

"Scary, scary, crew! Let's go..!"

"Talk about pack a homies you wouldn’t want to roll up in"

"I’m not messing with that group."

Nate Diaz gets into altercation with Islam Makhachev's team after pre-UFC 311 press conference

Nate Diaz and the members of the Ceasar Gracie Fight Team never turn their backs on a feud. Most UFC fans may remember how both of Diaz's pre-fight press conferences against Conor McGregor ended in complete chaos. Diaz may be on a hiatus from UFC, but a recent incident showcased that he hasn't dropped his feud-sparking attitude.

The UFC authorities decided to conduct a pre-press conference with the UFC 311 fighters after the end of the UFC 310. It also had the UFC 311 main eventer, Islam Makhachev, taking to the stage besides Umar Nurmagomedov, Merab Dvalishvili, and others.

Diaz was also present backstage to support a fighter from his team. However, a recent video from ESPN MMA showcased the Stockton native and his entourage throwing water bottles after an altercation with Islam Makhchev's team following the end of the pre-UFC 311 press conference.
