Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal don’t fight for another month, but the action was well underway at their press conference on Thursday … with “Gamebred” getting in the middle of a violent scuffle.
It all went down in Anaheim just minutes ago … shortly after Diaz stormed off the stage without doing a ceremonial face-off with his opponent.
It’s unclear what sparked it all — we’re assuming trash talk — but in a video of the fracas, Masvidal is shown slapping a man’s hand down — and then the fists started flying.
It appears both fighters’ crews were doing the most of the damage to each other … with one guy taking a tumble into the seats and knocking the entire row over.

A voice is heard yelling for security to secure Masvidal … but the chaos seemed to continue for at least a minute.
At one point, a member of Diaz’s entourage was chirping pretty heavily toward Masvidal … calling him a bitch.
Eventually, cooler heads prevailed … or at least that’s what we thought — but when Nate and Jorge saw each other inside after the brawl, they started yelling at each other from across a hallway.

“F*** you looking at. Come here and get you’re f***ing asses whipped then.”

The real fight goes down July 6 … that is, if these guys don’t cross paths before then.
