Seems like street fights and Nick Diaz go hand in hand! Just a couple of months ago, a viral clip of Nate Diaz’s elder brother sent fans into a frenzy. Now, in another amusing clip, ‘El Diablo’ has been spotted fighting off a ‘wannabe’ MMA practitioner who tries to throw himself at the former IFC welterweight champ.
In a recently surfaced video, Nick and the challenger seem involved in an altercation. But it takes a wild turn as the ‘wannabe’ fighter leans in to challenge Diaz to a street fight. Though it seemed all fun and lighthearted at first, things eventually took a wrong turn. The civilian tried to square off with the pro-fighter, only to be barraged with a couple of leg kicks.

Fans from all corners of the MMA community have chimed in, sharing their thoughts and reactions to the intense confrontation. Here are some fan responses that capture the range of emotions stirred by the video:
