Diaz Apologizes to Oliveira for Trash Talk

Nate Diaz issued a rare apology on February 13 for rude trash-talk about slapping Charles Oliveira while predicting Max Holloway vs. Oliveira 2 for the BMF title at UFC 326 on March 7. Diaz clarified he misspoke while intoxicated and offered respect. This diffuses tension ahead of the lightweight/BMF bout, highlighting Diaz's candid style. Oliveira's camp likely appreciates the gesture; expect focused buildup to UFC 326.
