Dana White cancels UFC 279 press conference after fight breaks out backstage

The already highly anticipated UFC 279 card just got a little more interesting.

On Thursday night, president Dana White canceled the UFC 279 press conference after a fight broke out between several fighters backstage. 

Initially, according to White, Kevin Holland and Nate Diaz's opponent for UFC 279, Khamzat Chimaev, were first engaged in a physical altercation. The scuffle led to Diaz and his team getting involved before things flew off the rails. 

"There were multiple things going on back here at the same time," White told reporters after the incident. "Once it all started erupting, it was a complete sh-- show."
