Nate Diaz has been charged with misdemeanor battery stemming from an alleged incident at a nightclub in Las Vegas again in August.
In keeping with on-line courtroom information obtained by MMA Combating, Diaz was hit with the misdemeanor battery cost on Oct. 16 over an incident that allegedly befell on Aug. 24 on the Omnia nightclub in Las Vegas. TMZ first reported the information.
Diaz’s representatives didn’t reply for remark from MMA Combating.
The cost stems from an alleged altercation on the membership the place Diaz and a few associates have been ready in line to be admitted into the Omnia nightclub inside Caesar’s Palace.
Diaz and his associates have been reportedly holding up the road when a safety guard from the Omnia approached the ex-UFC fighter to see what was taking place. The state of affairs turned bodily after Diaz allegedly pushed the safety guard, who then pushed him again earlier than Diaz allegedly hit the safety guard within the face with “an open proper hand.”
A video of the alleged altercation circulated again in September that exhibits Diaz shoving an individual away by the face, knocking off their glasses earlier than placing up his arms with extra folks swooping in to de-escalate the state of affairs.
By the point police arrived to cope with the altercation, Diaz had already exited the property.
A misdemeanor battery cost was finally filed in opposition to Diaz in October and the case is ongoing.
If convicted, Diaz faces a possible penalty of as much as six months in jail and fines as much as $1,000 but it surely’s extremely unlikely he’ll cope with the utmost penalty in a misdemeanor case like this.
The 39-year-old fighter was really simply in Las Vegas this previous weekend cornering his good friend Kron Gracie at UFC 310 for his battle in opposition to Bryce Mitchell. Diaz final appeared within the ring again in July when he received a call in a boxing match in opposition to fellow UFC veteran Jorge Masvidal.
