Avila backs Paul
“I’m down for whatever, but I’m focused 100 percent on my fight, and I also got my homie’s backs,” Avila said in a media scrum after the press conference brawl. “So whatever is going to happen, whatever pops off, I’m ready for it all. But I’m focused on my fight, and I’m working like I should. I got to do what I got to do to be ready to fight and make my weight and do my job on Saturday.”

Avila and Diaz have always been close friends and training partners, and that’ll likely never change. Of course, in a situation like this, it’s always better for Chris to focus on his own mission statement as fight night approaches.
Keep your eyes peeled, though, because we wouldn’t be surprised to see even more carnage unfold.
