Former UFC superstar Nate Diaz will not face charges in New Orleans, LA following the District Attorney dropping the case against him stemming from a street brawl he was involved in in April.
Diaz’s representative Zach Rosenfield issued the following statement:
“Today, the Orleans Parish District Attorney informed us they will not be pursuing a case against Nate Diaz.
Since Rodney Peterson sought out to fight Nate on Bourbon Street, we have maintained Nate’s actions were 100% in self defense. It was clean on video, clean in pictures and clear from the multiple other videos Rodney posted before and after.
Nate has the right to defend himself against those who want to make a name for themselves and did so.
We appreciate the Orleans Parish District Attorney taking the time to review all aspects of this case and their decisions to not proceed with it.”
Diaz was seen on video choking Rodney Peterson, a professional boxer known for looking like influencer Logan Paul who is brother of Jake Paul, unconscious during the brawl in April.
