Nate Diaz has landed himself in hot waters after the recent brawl in New Orleans. The ex-UFC welterweight star made headlines a few days ago after a clip of the altercation went viral. In the clip, the 38-year-old choked out a Logan Paul lookalike and left him on the road. Now, Diaz is in trouble with the law after recent reports state an arrest warrant has been issued for him in relation to the incident.
Following the news, his opponent for August, Jake Paul seemingly confirmed a backup option for the event with longtime rival KSI. However, this did not sit well with Diaz, who reacted to the news with some strong words.
