Nate Diaz making headlines for brawls is never a new thing for the MMA community. He is notorious among the MMA community for his carefree attitude and short temper. Recently, Diaz once again got into a nasty street fight with the TikTok star Rodney Peterson in New Orleans. Diaz came to New Orleans to attend the match with his teammate Chris Avila. After watching the viral video, many thought that he got into the brawl with WWE star Logan Paul due to Peterson’s uncanny resemblance to Paul. At the moment, Diaz is facing legal charges for attacking the TikTok star.
Surprisingly, the retired BMF champion of the UFC, Jorge Masvidal, has lent a helping hand to Diaz in this dire situation. Masvidal has faced legal complications for attacking his rival, Colby Covington, in Miami. Now, he suggests a top lawyer in the country to Diaz to get away from the issue. Moreover, ‘Gamebred’ defends the actions of Diaz in the name of self-defense. According to Masvidal, the other person might have violated Diaz’s privacy, which would have provoked him. It was surprising to see ‘Gamebred’ supporting Diaz, as the two were former rivals and locked horns at UFC 244.

After lending legal help to Diaz, Masvidal began to take about his view on the incident. He added, “What it looked like to me is that this dude ran up on Nate right and you know you got to respect and it looked like it was self-defense but I don’t know I didn’t see the whole video. I saw like one shi*ty angle so I don’t really even want to say too much. I just want to say like you can’t run up on people. You can’t violate people’s personal space and think it’s cool to get away with.”
