Shortly after last week’s “Spinning Back Clique” went off the air, we found out that the New Orleans Police Department issued an arrest warrant for Nate Diaz after the former UFC star was involved in a street brawl outside of a Misfits boxing event.
A few days later, Diaz was arrested and charged with felony battery when he voluntarily turned himself in.
In various videos, Diaz is seen choking a man unconscious during a larger brawl on famed Bourbon Street. The man was later identified as Rodney Petersen Jr., a social media influencer, pro boxer, and amateur MMA fighter.
Through his representative, Zach Rosenfield, Diaz has claimed self-defense. “We continue to look forward to presenting all the evidence and videos that show Nate was acting in self-defense,” Rosenfield said in a statement to MMA Junkie.
After all the video evidence that’s out, have your thoughts changed on Diaz in this instance as we’ve learned more?
