"I could've killed this dude"- Jorge Masvidal addresses shocking moment his 50-year-old coach took punches in Nate Diaz team brawl

Jorge Masvidal recently addressed the chaotic brawl that erupted between his team and Nate Diaz’s entourage during the pre-fight press conference of their boxing clash in Anaheim, California. The incident took place after Diaz abruptly left the stage before the scheduled faceoff, leading to tensions boiling over between both camps.

Masvidal recounted how the altercation began when one of Diaz’s team members shoved him, prompting a reaction from his side. His 50-year-old boxing coach, Jorge Capetillo, got caught in the scuffle and was taken to the ground by two of Diaz’s team members.

Masvidal saw his coach getting hit and intervened, grabbing an opponent by the hair. He claimed he held back, despite his striking ability, before security restored order. The heated exchange stemmed from unresolved tensions between the two fighters dating back to their UFC 244 clash for the BMF title, where Masvidal won after a doctor stoppage.

Speaking about the brawl in an episode of the JAXXON PODCAST, Masvidal said:

"He's [Diaz] got a bunch of f*cking idiots there you know [in his team]... I don't know what these f*cking dudes do but besides cause trouble. Nate was leaving and I was talking. He had said some sh*t like come fight me or something [and] then he walked off... Out of nowhere one of his guys comes and shoves me right. I go, 'Oh! That's a no-no."

Masvidal added:

"So I start tracing this guy down. I can't find him he takes off like a little b*tch. I look to my left and my coach is fighting two of his dudes. They have him on the floor and one of them's already like cracking him. I'm like that's not happening bro. I thought at first it was like a lesbian chick so I didn't want to hit him right. You can see when I grab his buddy by the dreads. I have his head right here and everybody knows I'm decent at knees. I could have killed this dude. I really thought it was like some fat lesbian or some sh*t so I let him go."
