Breaking: 6 Months Post His Infamous Street Brawl, Nate Diaz Finally Allowed to Walk Out After DA Dropped Vis Case

The rivalry between Jake Paul and Nate Diaz is not new. Diaz often butts heads with the infamous Paul brothers. And Diaz’s recent fight with Jake Paul has reinstated the said bitterness as Paul raised the winning hand by a unanimous decision. But this took an unexpected turn as Diaz reportedly got into an altercation with a civilian who resembled Logan Paul.

In the aftermath of Diaz’s unforeseen antics, New Orleans Police initially issued an arrest warrant on a charge of second-degree battery. However, the UFC gangster seems to have been set free from all the charges. Here’s all that transpired.

Nate Diaz Cleared of Assault Charges in New Orleans

Once charged, the case against the 38-year-old was later transferred to court. However, as of now, Diaz has been absolved of any charges brought up against him. The Stockton Slap’s representative Zach Rosenfield clarified that the former UFC fighter is no longer facing charges in relation to a street fight in New Orleans.

In a statement, Rosenfield noted, “ Today, the Orleans Parish District Attorney informed us they will not be pursuing a case against Nate Diaz. Since Rodney Peterson sought to fight Nate on Bourbon Street, we have maintained Nate’s actions were 100% in self-defense. It was clear on video, clear in pictures, and clear from the multiple other videos Rodney posted before and after. Nate has a right to defend himself against those who want to make a name for themselves and do so. We appreciate the Orleans Parish District Attorney taking the time to review all aspects of this case and their decision to not proceed with it.”

Further, Keith D. Lampkin, the office’s Chief of Operations and External Affairs in a statement wrote “The 2nd-degree battery charge against Mr. Nathan Diaz was refused by the Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office. “After reviewing all available evidence of the allegation, including video and testimony, there is not sufficient support to prove the alleged crime.”

Diaz’s team has steadfastly asserted the fighter’s innocence ever since the incident came to public attention, categorizing Diaz’s actions as an act of self-defense. The investigation had no bearing on Diaz’s personal boxing pursuits. He proceeded to engage in a bout against Logan’s sibling, Jake Paul. Paul prevailed over Diaz with a unanimous decision after ten rounds.

The incident took place in April this year just before his fight against Jake Paul.

Soon after Diaz was involved in a physical brawl with Peterson, even choking out Peterson and dropping him unconscious.

The videos of the brawl quickly went viral gathering attention from fans and critics, prompting the New Orleans Police to file a case against Diaz. However, after the recent declaration, he seems that he will not be facing any legal consequences. The charges against him were dropped.

This incident once again highlights the unpredictable nature of combat sports, both inside and outside the ring.
