STOCKTON, Calif. -- GILBERT MELENDEZ, NATE Diaz's longtime teammate, was in Stockton with some of his students from El Niño Training Center in South San Francisco for a night training session at Nick Diaz Academy on Aug. 24. Melendez and crew arrived first at the "Trap House" -- the name given by Nate Diaz to a small, two-bedroom guest house across from his property -- where they chatted with Diaz's team and watched YouTube videos on the big screen.
Diaz's first fight with Conor McGregor ended up being shown, and right at the beginning of the second round, Diaz showed up at the guest house.
