Former UFC star Nate Diaz filmed choking out Logan Paul lookalike

The shocking video has gone viral

Diaz was one of the UFC's most talented stars and beat the likes of Conor McGregor during his time in the Octagon before leaving after his win against Tony Ferguson.

However Diaz was caught leaving a member of the public unconscious on camera in New Orleans on Friday night while attending the Misfits Boxing 6 event to watch Chris Avila, who beat Paul Bamba via unanimous decision.

There was controversy inside the event after Diaz was removed from the arena for throwing a water bottle at TV star Chase DeMoor in reference to an incident at his UFC 202 press conference with McGregor years ago.

The controversy didn't stop there as Diaz was soon involved in a brawl outside and was filmed giving a knee to boxer Rodney Peterson, who is a lookalike of the elder Paul brother, before choking him out and leaving him on the floor.

It could well have been a message to Logan's older brother Jake, who he will meet in a boxing fight on August 5 in Dallas.

In December 2021, Diaz was involved in a backstage brawl with Tyrone Woodley ahead of his fight with Paul before being escorted out of the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona a year later for allegedly slapping one of Paul's team before his win against Anderson Silva.
