MMA icon Nick Diaz recently got fans talking about him when Dana White and Co. announced his return against Vicente Luque for UFC 310. However, reportedly due to undisclosed reasons, the plans got scrapped, and now an issue’s come up regarding the Stockton native, on a more personal note. It appears that the older Diaz brother is going through an issue with his girlfriend.

Nick Diaz seems to have had enough of his girlfriend, Kay‘s antics. Claiming that his recent drinking spree isn’t something he’s proud of, the MMA icon said, “Bro, we did. That’s why I’ve been drinking so much lately. Like, I don’t need to drink like that. I’ve been drinking like that because, f*, I can’t get away from her,” in a video posted by his friend on YouTube, whose identity remains unknown.

The 41-year-old veteran added, “I’m just stuck and I’ve got to go deal with people, too, and her. So I can’t stand her when I’m sober around people and I’m like, freaking out.” But what seems to be the problem that has made Nick Diaz come out in the open and talk about his problems with Kay? Well, his friend, who posted the video, also gave his take on the whole situation and vented his frustration about the video that went viral recently.

In what was a concerning clip for Nick Diaz’s fans, he was seen lighting up something in public without his shirt on. It raised a lot of questions, but Diaz’s friend did not appreciate his girlfriend trying to make him look like a “fool.”

“What really made me put out this video that this, whatever you want to call her [Diaz’s girlfriend] put out of him lighting whatever on fire and it infuriated me,” the Stockton native’s confidant stated. “I texted her, said, ‘Did you f***ing put this out there?’ She said, ‘Yes.’ Why would you do that? There’s only one motive you would do something like and that’s just to humiliate and make somebody look like a f***ing fool.”

Meanwhile, Nick Diaz has remained quiet on his part regarding this issue, which his friend seemed to believe was important to talk about. But while his personal problems have popped up recently, the video of him on the street made his planned comeback opponent, Vicente Luque, concerned.

Welterweight rival expresses concern for Nick Diaz after the viral video

It would have been great for Vicente Luque to add Nick Diaz as one of the most high-profile fighters he’s ever fought on his resume, but he wasn’t disappointed that he didn’t get the chance to do so. Instead, the welterweight veteran was rather worried during a recent interview about Diaz’s well-being after watching the video of him in the middle of the street.

“It is a crazy video when you see it. At the time, I was really concerned, more than anything for Nick. You never want to see somebody in that condition. Especially after having the career he had, being the legend he is. I don’t want to see a guy end up like that,” Vicente Luque told ‘Inside Fighting’. His fight against Nick Diaz was initially planned for a few months ago in August, but the Stockton native had to pull out due to “travel issues.” Now, in the wake of this concerning video, fans really don’t feel like there’s any need for Diaz to make a return to the Octagon.

However, Nick Diaz hasn’t indicated or opened up about giving up fighting altogether, so he could make a comeback in the near future. But for Vicente Luque, Dana White gave him a replacement opponent in the form of Themba Gorimbo, who’ll be making his pay-per-view debut. Nevertheless, let us know your thoughts on Diaz and the recent revelations about his relationship that have come to the fore in the comments down below.
