Kick streamer Neon regretted disrespecting Nate Diaz.

On Wednesday afternoon, puiled up to the Diaz-Masvidal prefight press conference to ask Diaz if he would retire if he got knocked out by Masvidal on Saturday night.

Diaz immediately called out Neon and put him on blast for several minutes over the disrespectful question.

While leaving the press conference, Neon was seen running like a coward with his security team while being chased by Diaz’s boys.

Media members like Ariel Helwani blasted the boxing promotion for allowing the influencer to ask a disrespectful question at press conferences.

“This sh– is so weak. Maybe I’m out of touch but this trend of planting these losers – and make no mistake they are plants – at pressers to disrespect fighters who are about to put their lives on the line is lame and embarrassing. Get these idiots out of the fight game in all facets and shame on those who think these stunts are a good idea. Pathetic.”

“And make no mistake, I’m all for new media. Come one and all. Cover the sport in your own. Have fun. Do your thing. But asking dumb, disrespectful questions like this to fighters just to create a stupid viral moment that will do nothing to sell a fight is tired and dumb.”
