Nick Maximov was backstage at the UFC 279 press conference when a brawl broke out. Maximov is a training partner of Nick and Nate Diaz and was with Nate at this time. Kevin Holland and Khamzat Chimaev got into a physical confrontation which spread to the other groups waiting backstage. It got severe enough that due to security concerns, the press conference was forced to be canceled by UFC President Dana White.
UFC Middleweight Nick Maximov recently sat down with Alex Behunin of LowKickMMA and explained that the whole thing got blow way out of proportion. In a recent interview, he explained:
“I thought it was just blown out of proportion. It was like not even nothing really crazy happened. It was kind of, I think, they were just trying to make a scene out of it when it wasn’t a scene, you know. It was whatever. It was kind of lame that Dana did that.”
Khamzat Chimaev was originally booked to face Nate Diaz in a five-round welterweight headlining bout at UFC 279. Due to a massive weight miss, the Russian athlete was not allowed to face Diaz. A shuffle happened so Chimaev fought Kevin Holland, while Diaz fought Tony Ferguson. The Stockton-born Diaz was able to defeat the former Interim UFC champion Ferguson via fourth-round submission in what is likely to be his final fight in the UFC.
Next to Diaz throughout the entire affair was his training partner Nick Maximov. The 24-year-old US-born fighter explained his perspective of the UFC 279 chaos. He says he was impressed with Nate keeping cool and adjusting to a new opponent. Speaking to LowKickMMA, Maximov said:
“I don’t think you can even fight when you’re that far off weight. It’s like, I thought the show was over with… But it worked out for him. So it’s cool they gotta fight so quick. Yeah I mean it wouldn’t happen to anyone else but Nate, you know what I’m saying. But he’s the man he can take all the punches.”

Petroski has now won three straight in the UFC since earning a shot in the Octagon following his time on TUF 28. Since getting signed to the UFC roster, he most recently earned wins over Micheal Gillmore and Yaozong Hu.
Maximov came into the Petroski fight off of an 11-takedown performance against Punahele Soriano back in February.
UFC Twitter had a lot to say about Petroski’s performance.
Damn that’s one way to start the card

Before his run on TUF 28, Petroski enjoyed a five-win stint in Art of War Cage Fighting. He also headlined LFA 93 against Aaron Jeffery, losing via second-round TKO.
But Petroski has rebounded in a big way since his first professional loss. He’ll look to stay on the winning track in his expected return later this year.

Kicking off the UFC Vegas 54 preliminary card in hasty style, Philadelphia upstart, Andre Petroski hands fellow prospect, Nick Maximov his first professional, loss — latching onto a quickfire anaconda choke in the opening minute of their event opener.
Landing his third promotional victory in spectacular style, Petroski, a trainee under coach, Daniel Gracie — sprawled on an early takedown attempt from the well-touted Maximov, grabbing onto his neck in the process.
Adjusting his grip, Petroski locked up an anaconda choke, rolled to the canvas and then squeezed his way to a first round submission victory over the undefeated Diaz brothers protegé in blistering fashion. Following the win, Petroski offered to fight Gerald Meerschaert at UFC 275 next month in Singapore.
