In a surprising turn of events, former UFC fighter Nate Diaz was caught on camera choking a man unconscious during a street fight in New Orleans (CBS Sports). The incident occurred on Friday night after Diaz attended a boxing event (Fox News). The person he choked out appeared to be a Logan Paul lookalike, according to MMA Junkie.
According to MARCA, Diaz felt the need to let loose and engage in some street fighting without any commitments to a big organization. The incident was filmed and later shared on social media platforms, causing a stir among the UFC community. Diaz’s longtime rival Conor McGregor and UFC president Dana White both weighed in on the incident, as reported by MMA News.
Jake and Logan Paul also made a video mocking Diaz’s altercation, as reported by MMA Fighting. However, the man who was choked out by Diaz during the street fight has finally broken his silence, revealing that he suffered a head injury during the scuffle (MMA Mania).
Despite his checkered past, Diaz remains one of the most popular fighters in the UFC. Fans are eagerly awaiting his return to the octagon, although it remains to be seen if the organization will allow him to fight again after this latest incident.
