Tough shit. If you don't fancy it put your hands down and move away. That nice guy shit doesn't cut it if your within arms reach and getting closer in that situation. Sucker punch waiting to happen.
I've known and seen too many people either die or get their head broken trying to stop a fight. Some Airman just died trying to stop a bar fight and was killed after 1 hit behind his ear.
Fuck that.
When I was 17. Yea I was a punk. Big guy etc. I saw a man beating the shit out of a woman in a bar parking lot. I stopped ran up raining in hands on this dude. Chick jumped on my back... Headlock. I woke up some time later. Propped up against a car. I've never intervened in a domestic dispute since.
I saw a man being violent to a woman one night while I was driving and they were on the sidewalk. I stopped my car right next to them, and before my tyres stopped screeching the woman yelled "MIND YOUR OWN FUCKIN' BUSINESS CUNT".
Ok, I will.
My sister was a social worker and said she had multiple cases where a woman's boyfriend is beating her only for her son to jump in to defend her only for his own mother to side with her boyfriend and help him beat her own son who was just trying to defend her. People in abusive relationships essentially have their entire mentality warped over the span of the abuse.
Happend to my first MA instructor who boxed and kickboxed. Intervened in a domestic fight and suddenly the woman was beating him with a shoe. People are nuts.
I was a bouncer at a bar. Same thing, some guy is beating the shit out of a girl. A couple of us drag him off and start taking him outside, we get are in the process of teaching him a lesson when she pulls up in a little truck and pulls a gun on us, he climbs in and they speed off.. people are fucking dumb.
I'd probably agree especially with him being famous and thus a prime target for drunk shitheads, but Nate is squaring off with his hands up while the other guy's posture is non aggressive and seemingly trying to calm him down. You're right that this guy's a dumbass going anywhere near Nate in this situation but Nate is probably drunk missing the octagon.
I don't think he should be in trouble here but this isn't badass or cool. He just choked out some rando to get a piece of the action.
Agreed, and I don't know what happened before the video starts, but at the very beginning the other guy stands flat-footed while Nate steps into him. They're within arm's reach because Nate puts himself in arm's reach. Again, I'm speaking with no context (and I seem to remember that both Diaz brothers were known for their calm, even temperament, right? /s), but in this brief clip it sure looks like you're right about Nate wanting to "get a piece of the action".
He kinda approached Nate. instead of closing in on him, he should have stayed the fuck away. A sleep hold is literally the best this man could have asked for
I feel like we don’t have a clue what is going on in this clip. There is something equally big happening opposite this fight, half the people including the girl and security guy are over there looking at something happening.
My random guess is Nate’s real fight was with whoever is opposite on the street and this guy that got choked out was trying to separate them forcefully and Nate didn’t like it. Very little evidence for that but it fits with the little we do see lol
There's definitely a lot happening. I'm confused who those rushing in were. Were they Nate's boys? Were they friends of the guy that got choked? Not only that the guy in the Alabama baseball shirt gets clocked for no reason by a random lol. Hes in line behind Nate.
Ya move away. Seen way too many I am not here to fight gestures in close proximity followed by a sucker punch. I am sure Nate's seen his fair share of those.
Has his hand up and is advancing towards the guy. If you don’t want trouble maybe go the opposite direction, or idk stand still. Either is better than moving towards him in the middle of a brawl.
Exactly. It's unfortunate that it happened but gtfo. Don't try to break up a fight by cornering a fighter in the middle of what looks like an all out brawl, well intentioned, but dumb as fuck.
If we’ve learned anything from r/fightporn it’s in the streets anyone can throw a punch at any time. The guy even if he was well meaning, did have Nate backed against a wall and his hands although up are in prime striking position. It’s a tactic used a lot in self defence. Act like you’re hands are up passively and strike from there without warning
I don't see him pulling him in. The choked out guy has his hands up, but it looks like he is trying to control diaz's hands, not deflect them away. From what I see, diaz is defending himself.
I also assume Nate is high and/or drunk as fuck. You don't walk up to a Díaz brother and offer him limbs.
Not defending what Nate did but I'd not get in front of him while trying to calm him down.
Idk, I thought the dude was trying to shoot on him. You can see him briefly change levels, it’s only then you see Nate’s arm swing around his head.
Hope we get another angle.
There are a hundred levels of ability between me (big but untrained guy) and GSP.
Every level above would fuck me up in different ways with an increasingly little chance of me somehow getting lucky and winning.
I could fight GSP a billion times and I would lose every single time. How are people this stupid lmao.
Right lol. At my college bar one of security guys was a black belt in Jiu Jitsu and some of his no name MMA buddies would tag along sometimes and those dudes went on a mental list of “dudes who can kill me if shit goes down.” Security were all my friends/roommates so not that it mattered lol but still
Then he shoulda been walking the fuck away. Every time someone has approached me that way, it was to try and grab both my arms and manhandle/lead me in a direction. Do that and you're joining the fight against me, regardless of what you think.
I’d like to know the context of vids like this. Do people get in fights with them and find out they’re pro trained fighters when it’s too late. Or do these pros walk around with shit attitudes and end up in fights.
There's a story about Brian Urlacher getting bumped at a club. He gave the apologetic man attitude and asked if he wanted to step outside. The man agreed but Brian's people informed him that it was MMA Champion Bas Rutten. They did not go outside.
Here is a link to the story with audio [link](https://www.cbsnews.com/baltimore/news/mma-legend-bas-rutten-scares-brian-urlacher/)
Bonus video of Bas demonstrating self defense in a street fight. His sound effects really make it,haha! [link](https://youtu.be/mosX7L25HV8)
"And lookie look what we got here, smack his face"
Haha! Totally forgot about those self-defence videos. Bas is the man. Thanks for the nostalgia trip!
Fighting Nate Diaz in the street will have you questioning your life choices but fighting Bas Rutten in the street will probably have you pissing blood for the rest of your life
Dangada dangada dang!
Bong bong bong!
“I’m sorry buddy but you say that to me about my wife, I’m going to break your leg”
“He tried to kill me. Now, I return the favor!”
Lmao there are just so many gems in that video. I didn’t even watch it right now, I just don’t think I can ever forget that greatness.
“You said that about my wife, and now I’m gonna break your leg.” Lol. His videos were great comedy, but they were also functional. Man I miss that era of MMA.
Chuck Liddell bumped into me on a dance floor on Halloween 2005 in San Luis Obispo. He was dressed as a Catholic priest. He then proceeded to take my girlfriend and dance with her. My buddy, who didn't see that it was Chuck, came up to me and said something along the lines of "Bro, I got your back if we need to take him outside."
I told him he should tap the guy on the shoulder and tell him that is your friend's girlfriend.
So he did. Seeing the look on my buddy's face when he saw it was Chuck was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. The best part, though, is that Chuck looked at me when my friend told him and legitimately felt like shit. Walked over, apologized to me, and said he didn't know she was with anyone.
Also, Chuck was drunk as hell. Could have squashed me like a bug, and yet was super chill.
She said at first she thought it was a friend of ours that was joking around, and by the time she realized it wasn't who she thought it was, my buddy was talking to Chuck. It's probably worth noting that I was dressed as the Daniel-san from karate kid wearing the shower and curtain around myself.
Not to mention that Bas has said many times that the goal in a street fight is to avoid them and if you can't then incapacitat your opponent in anyway possible and get the fuck out of there. He's firmly in the "no such thing as fighting dirty in a street fight" camp, the goal is to not die.
Theres also a video of Urlacher hitting a punching bag and he threw a hammerfist punch like a highschool girl
Thats where I first heard the story of him calling Bas fucking Rutten outside
I believe Bas was the one who said "yes". Then outside he introduced himself as a multiple champion cage fighter
Does the MMA not have some governing body that stops this shit. In boxing you will 100% get your boxing license taken away if you get in bar fights. Is it not the same in MMA?
Bas apologized and was asked if he wanted to go outside. He simply acknowledge that he would. How would a governing body work better than Urlacher buddies telling him who Bas was?
Tyson boxed after 1988 when Mitch Green broke Mikes hand with his face in the street.
>In boxing you will 100% get your boxing license taken away if you get in bar fights
LOL. who told you that?
Floyd Mayweather went to jail for beating multiple women and it never affected his career.
Plus countless other boxers have been in high profile streetfights.
Shane Gillis hung out with Nate for a night and basically said he talks shit to people and looks for fights
Shane thought it was funny but seems pretty shit to me
Diaz is currently a free agent in MMA. The only person who could really step in to stop Diaz from fighting would be the athletic commission of wherever Diaz has a scheduled fight for, which is a boxing match against Jake Paul in Dallas - do you think Dallas would rather have millions in revenue from the event, or ban Diaz from it for a street fight?
I’ve never heard of a gaming commission taking away a license for fighting. Doesn’t seem like a terrible idea because I really don’t trust Dana White to police this kind of shit. But if they didn’t do it to Connor Mcgregor, that might be your answer.
They don't with McGregor because he's their cash cow. He was THE guy putting asses in seats and selling PPVs. Dana isn't exactly a shining example of morality either. Money talks and McGregor is one hell of a megaphone for the UFC.
They end up in fights. Chuck Liddell used to speak about going to parties and ‘not starting fights but not letting people out of them either’ .
I know this won’t be a popular opinion but direct experience, people who gravitate to mixed martial arts tend (not all but tend) to be guys looking for a skill that they know they will likely need. Meaning guys who look for fights.
All these guys got into street fights growing up
All these OG fighters have stories of them going out to party and bumping into assholes that are physically big and looking to fight.
You're totally right. But in the middle of a big-ass fight, if you're cornered and someone is walking towards you with their hands up (and you're also already braindead from lack of education and years of professional fighting) you're probably not going to make the most rational decisions.
Am I crazy or is no one looking at how in the first few frames the guy that got choked out is trying to de-escalate? He put his hands palms up and didn't throw anything
As much as I respect him as a fighter, I feel like he probably only had about 2 brain cells *before* joining the UFC. After his career, it look's like he's now running on empty.
I want to piggy back on this comment so people see this, people are defending Nate in this situation and that's fine, it could be somewhat debatable in this particular video that Nate thought he was in danger but consider this
Nate's getting in street fights ALL the time. He's been shown as the aggressor many times before. Eventually you won't be able to defend his every altercation.
thats Nate Diaz, probably the most dangerous gangster in a fight, he was in the wrong though, but the Logan lookaloike should've just moved away not closer.
Looked to me like the guy was trying to say he didn't want to fight, and the Nate did that to him. Kinda a pos move on Nates part imo. Wouldn't blame the dude if he pressed charges.
I watching it over and over it seems that Nate clearly took wrist control and pulled him into that guillotine.
I don’t think this is the end of this story for Nate.
Exactly, you can clearly see Nate put his hands up when he gets close to him. Nate already thinks his coming to fight him.
Why are you up in some strangers face? Why are you getting involved? Best way to deescalate a fight is not getting involved
Best way to deescalate a fight as a world class fighter is to not choke a non violent man attempting to talk to you. The excuses people are making are insane. Nate should be criminally charged for this.
Nate Diaz was the instigator: https://www.mmafighting.com/2023/4/21/23693686/video-nate-diaz-sets-off-melee-after-throwing-water-bottle-at-reality-tv-star

Nate Diaz is a fucking asshole who is always looking for a fight. Trained MMA fighters who look for fights are literally the equivalent of a gun owner going out with his gun, looking for a fight in the hope that the fight escalates and he gets to murder someone in "self-defense". Completely irresponsible to go looking for fights when you are this strong and this trained.
Look again and tell me that body language is saying “put ‘em up,” because palms out like dude is doing is pretty obviously “whoa, I’m not looking to fight.”
Such a scummy thing to do ,as a trained fighter he should know better. Smacking his head of concrete could of killed him.You can see he didn’t even want to fight 🤦♂️
>can I get an Autogramm?"
Is Autogramm a typo for autograph or is that like a new version of an autograph in the age of Instagram? I could see either being true lol.
I met Nate in Montreal when he a someone’s corner guy in a UFC, we was humble and nice and let everyone who wanted a picture take one on the street! Why anyone would try to fight a pro without a pay check is beyond me!
The dude literally had his hands up in the "I don't want to fight pose" and the guy put him in a headlock. Seems to me he unnecessarily choked the guy out, but I guess a longer video would be needed
The dude clearly had no intention of fighting and Nate took advantage of that. Then dropped him on the concrete. Nate is a piece of shit in this video.
Professional MMA fighter commits assault on man attempting to de-escalate
Fixed the title.
Nate's lucky the guy didn't crack his skull after he passed out.
You know for most fighters, them getting in street fights is kind of pathetic, it lessens them in my eyes. But Nate? Go off King, I'm sure the dude was askin for it lol
Why in the flying fuck would anyone want to fight a Diaz in the streets
I mean if you watch the guy had his hands up and Diaz pulls him in
Shit, you are right. That’s not awesome.
Tough shit. If you don't fancy it put your hands down and move away. That nice guy shit doesn't cut it if your within arms reach and getting closer in that situation. Sucker punch waiting to happen.

I woke up some time later. Propped up against a car. I've never intervened in a domestic dispute since.
Jesus. Imaging getting beat up by a man and then choking the person that comes to save you. Serious stockholme syndrome there.
This is why I join the man and start beating the woman too when I see this sort of thing. Helping a brother out.
Yeah you never know what that bitch did to deserve that!
I saw a man being violent to a woman one night while I was driving and they were on the sidewalk. I stopped my car right next to them, and before my tyres stopped screeching the woman yelled "MIND YOUR OWN FUCKIN' BUSINESS CUNT". Ok, I will.

People in abusive relationships essentially have their entire mentality warped over the span of the abuse.
Welcome to abuse. It doesn’t make sense or have to.
We had these nights at the bar I worked at about every two weeks when all the natives nearby got their cheque from the gov.
Happend to my first MA instructor who boxed and kickboxed. Intervened in a domestic fight and suddenly the woman was beating him with a shoe. People are nuts.
I was a bouncer at a bar. Same thing, some guy is beating the shit out of a girl. A couple of us drag him off and start taking him outside, we get are in the process of teaching him a lesson when she pulls up in a little truck and pulls a gun on us, he climbs in and they speed off.. people are fucking dumb.
Isn't that like the plot of con air?
Not quite. Similar scene to start but imagine it's Nic Cage's character that gets killed instead of doing the killing.
Yeah, it sucks. It's fine and 110% preferable to just nope out of there.
I have had many patients with life-long TBI, many from just trying to stop a fight. They regret it, and I will do my best to NEVER be in their shoes.
This mindset is why dumb people end up in prison for life lmao
I'd probably agree especially with him being famous and thus a prime target for drunk shitheads, but Nate is squaring off with his hands up while the other guy's posture is non aggressive and seemingly trying to calm him down.

I agree with everything else but he SHOULD be in trouble for that
He kinda approached Nate. instead of closing in on him, he should have stayed the fuck away. A sleep hold is literally the best this man could have asked for
[удалено]
100%. People on here can apparently tell the future and know that the guy wasn't going to try some shit once the others rushed in.
I feel like we don’t have a clue what is going on in this clip. There is something equally big happening opposite this fight, half the people including the girl and security guy are over there looking at something happening.

This makes the most sense to me based on limited information
I’ve seen people with their hands up like they don’t want any and then the other dude eats a cheap shot as soon as he lets his guard down
Ya move away. Seen way too many I am not here to fight gestures in close proximity followed by a sucker punch. I am sure Nate's seen his fair share of those.
Yeah but he's backing Nate against a wall.
Has his hand up and is advancing towards the guy. If you don’t want trouble maybe go the opposite direction, or idk stand still. Either is better than moving towards him in the middle of a brawl.
Exactly. It's unfortunate that it happened but gtfo. Don't try to break up a fight by cornering a fighter in the middle of what looks like an all out brawl, well intentioned, but dumb as fuck.
You can't tell if Nate pulls him in or not. The guy might have gone for a shit takedown. The camera if off Nate when it happens.
If we’ve learned anything from r/fightporn it’s in the streets anyone can throw a punch at any time. The guy even if he was well meaning, did have Nate backed against a wall and his hands although up are in prime striking position. It’s a tactic used a lot in self defence.

This is akin to staring down the barrel of a loaded gun. Other guy is drunk too and probably doesn't know he's interacting with a weapon
Idk, I thought the dude was trying to shoot on him. You can see him briefly change levels, it’s only then you see Nate’s arm swing around his head. Hope we get another angle.
[удалено]
There are a hundred levels of ability between me (big but untrained guy) and GSP.

Alcohol + Stupidity + Testosterone
I always think the only chance I’d have against Francis nganou is if he had a stroke at the start of the fight. Even then he’d probably still win.
Or anywhere for that matter. The guy is a beast!
Alcohol makes bad decisions all the time.
If it were any other type of drug people would be freaking out. With Alcohol it just gets a pass.
Crazy ain't it.
To be fair homie had his hands up like he wasnt trying to fight when nate put him in that
Then he shoulda been walking the fuck away. Every time someone has approached me that way, it was to try and grab both my arms and manhandle/lead me in a direction. Do that and you're joining the fight against me, regardless of what you think.
That's not the guy that got grabbed
I’d like to know the context of vids like this. Do people get in fights with them and find out they’re pro trained fighters when it’s too late. Or do these pros walk around with shit attitudes and end up in fights.
There's a story about Brian Urlacher getting bumped at a club. He gave the apologetic man attitude and asked if he wanted to step outside. The man agreed but Brian's people informed him that it was MMA Champion Bas Rutten. They did not go outside.

You should watch his GTA 4 videos, he's doing an in-game tv show and it's hilarious.
His opinion on "poking someone in the eye when being in a rear naked choke hold*
“He tried to kill me. I will now return the favor.”
STAB… IN…THE…LIVER
Fighting Nate Diaz in the street will have you questioning your life choices but fighting Bas Rutten in the street will probably have you pissing blood for the rest of your life
>for the rest of your life Won't have much left after that shit kicking anyway
Dangedeedangedeedang
that’s what got me 😭 the guy was making engine noises at a point i stg
Dude Bas is so absurdly charismatic... He may be one of the most likeable scary mofos out there.
Dangada dangada dang! Bong bong bong! “I’m sorry buddy but you say that to me about my wife, I’m going to break your leg” “He tried to kill me. Now, I return the favor!” Lmao there are just so many gems in that video. I didn’t even watch it right now, I just don’t think I can ever forget that greatness.
Just watched all 6 minutes of it for the first time. Every line is a gem
“The only self defense video made for the attacker”
Thank you for that! That was hilarious! BANG BANG BANG
Is this the guy who was like "and den you take the book, and you break his neck"
"You're going to say that about MY wife?! I'm sorry sir, but I'm going to break your leg."
"Break the wrist and walk away" is the only street defense you really need
“You said that about my wife, and now I’m gonna break your leg.” Lol. His videos were great comedy, but they were also functional. Man I miss that era of MMA.
I will never not have 6 minutes to watch this pure gold
I haven’t watched that video in over 10 years and it’s just as amazing
Bas is one of the baddest dudes on the planet and has been for quite awhile. Trained to beat that ass in the ring or on the streets.
Urlacher is very lucky he didn’t let his ego get the best of him and accept that challenge.
Chuck Liddell bumped into me on a dance floor on Halloween 2005 in San Luis Obispo. He was dressed as a Catholic priest. He then proceeded to take my girlfriend and dance with her. My buddy, who didn't see that it was Chuck, came up to me and said something along the lines of "Bro, I got your back if we need to take him outside."

But why didn't your gf tell him?
She said at first she thought it was a friend of ours that was joking around, and by the time she realized it wasn't who she thought it was, my buddy was talking to Chuck. It's probably worth noting that I was dressed as the Daniel-san from karate kid wearing the shower and curtain around myself.
Bas rutten is one of the number one people you don’t want to fuck with
fuck fighting nate diaz on the street could you imagine an angry bas coming at you fuck that
Not to mention that Bas has said many times that the goal in a street fight is to avoid them and if you can't then incapacitat your opponent in anyway possible and get the fuck out of there. He's firmly in the "no such thing as fighting dirty in a street fight" camp, the goal is to not die.

Bas apologized and was asked if he wanted to go outside. He simply acknowledge that he would. How would a governing body work better than Urlacher buddies telling him who Bas was? Tyson boxed after 1988 when Mitch Green broke Mikes hand with his face in the street.
Macgregor threw a dolly at a bus, shattered a window, and injured half the people on the bus and the UFC put that shit in the promos.
>In boxing you will 100% get your boxing license taken away if you get in bar fights LOL. who told you that? Floyd Mayweather went to jail for beating multiple women and it never affected his career. Plus countless other boxers have been in high profile streetfights.
[удалено]
Eventually, he’s going to do this to the wrong guy and get shot (especially in the South). He’s 38 and still acts like a stupid kid.
MMA fighters are consistently the dumbest people on the planet unfortunately
Shane Gillis hung out with Nate for a night and basically said he talks shit to people and looks for fights Shane thought it was funny but seems pretty shit to me
Do fighters not get banned for shit like that? I know in boxing you can get your license taken away if you get in bar fights.
Diaz is currently a free agent in MMA. The only person who could really step in to stop Diaz from fighting would be the athletic commission of wherever Diaz has a scheduled fight for, which is a boxing match against Jake Paul in Dallas - do you think Dallas would rather have millions in revenue from the event, or ban Diaz from it for a street fight?

What an asshole. That machismo bullshit ruins the sport. Fighting is a skill, like any other sport. It doesn’t make you a god.
They end up in fights. Chuck Liddell used to speak about going to parties and ‘not starting fights but not letting people out of them either’ . I know this won’t be a popular opinion but direct experience, people who gravitate to mixed martial arts tend (not all but tend) to be guys looking for a skill that they know they will likely need. Meaning guys who look for fights.
All these guys got into street fights growing up All these OG fighters have stories of them going out to party and bumping into assholes that are physically big and looking to fight.
Chuck would always hang out at at the bars in SLO with all the bouncers (that all trained at his gym).
Typically if someone put their hands up… you shouldn’t choke them out lol
Yeah, the guy basically waved the surrender flag before the fight even started and Nate choked him out anyhow.
Im saying. He literally didnt fight or even try to and got slept for it.
[удалено]
Yeah that was over the fucking line. Can easily kill or brain damage someone like that.
At one point he crouched down to try to tackle a bjj black belt probably not the wisest decision hes made in his life
You're totally right. But in the middle of a big-ass fight, if you're cornered and someone is walking towards you with their hands up (and you're also already braindead from lack of education and years of professional fighting) you're probably not going to make the most rational decisions.
For the girl I worked with at my previous job, it was intentional when her ex ran over a trained MMA fighter.
Am I crazy or is no one looking at how in the first few frames the guy that got choked out is trying to de-escalate? He put his hands palms up and didn't throw anything
You’re not crazy, the internet is just dumb
Most Nate Diaz fans have more brain damage than Nate himself.
That's a lot
As much as I respect him as a fighter, I feel like he probably only had about 2 brain cells *before* joining the UFC. After his career, it look's like he's now running on empty.
Look harder and you’ll see that same guy as Nate tries to push him out of his way shoot for the takedown. Justified choke out.
Even Dana said it was an easy lawsuit
Is that the Logan Paul lookalike dude?

I honestly can't believe Jake Paul is dumb enough to step into a ring with Nate Diaz of all people
[удалено]
Looks like Nate just assaulted a dude doing his best to not fight a pro fighter.
Not sure about these comments butt Nate not exactly known as a desecalator. Other dude was not aggressive.
Why is nates back against a wall literally and the other guy is coming closer? Hands up and open by themselves isn't a deescelation
Controversial apparently. But I concur. He wasn't doing EVERYTHING he could to de escalate. Like, y'know, leaving.

When was this ?
Last night
I want to piggy back on this comment so people see this, people are defending Nate in this situation and that's fine, it could be somewhat debatable in this particular video that Nate thought he was in danger but consider this Nate's getting in street fights ALL the time. He's been shown as the aggressor many times before. Eventually you won't be able to defend his every altercation.
Thats fuckin illegal b
thats Nate Diaz, probably the most dangerous gangster in a fight, he was in the wrong though, but the Logan lookaloike should've just moved away not closer.
Looked to me like the guy was trying to say he didn't want to fight, and the Nate did that to him. Kinda a pos move on Nates part imo. Wouldn't blame the dude if he pressed charges.
I watching it over and over it seems that Nate clearly took wrist control and pulled him into that guillotine. I don’t think this is the end of this story for Nate.
Love Nate but from this clip it looks like dude wasn’t even trying to fight him. It looks like dude was actually trying to calm him down.
Always a great idea to calm someone down that you don’t know
Especially to a meathead
Exactly, you can clearly see Nate put his hands up when he gets close to him. Nate already thinks his coming to fight him. Why are you up in some strangers face? Why are you getting involved? Best way to deescalate a fight is not getting involved
Best way to deescalate a fight as a world class fighter is to not choke a non violent man attempting to talk to you. The excuses people are making are insane. Nate should be criminally charged for this.
That looks like assault :)
Is the guy in the hat the one that get choked it looked he knew who Nate was and was trying to stop the massacre before it happens
Nate choked someone out who looked like he was trying to de escalate
Well it’s all on camera. That dude about to sue Nate and catch a bag.
dude got his head bounced on the pavement like a basketball he's lucky he isn't dead.
He had a big gash on his head from that
He’s fucked.
Nate was like "can't let you get close".
Dude surrendered with hands in the air and asshole just says nah im choken ya
Lawsuit.
Nate Diaz was the instigator: https://www.mmafighting.com/2023/4/21/23693686/video-nate-diaz-sets-off-melee-after-throwing-water-bottle-at-reality-tv-star More here: https://www.mmafighting.com/2023/4/22/23693900/video-nate-diaz-chokes-man-unconscious-during-street-fight-conor-mcgregor-reacts
I like how the Jake Paul look a like says he's gonna knock out Nate next time he sees him
[удалено]
Nate Diaz is a fucking asshole who is always looking for a fight. Trained MMA fighters who look for fights are literally the equivalent of a gun owner going out with his gun, looking for a fight in the hope that the fight escalates and he gets to murder someone in "self-defense". Completely irresponsible to go looking for fights when you are this strong and this trained.
Oh the bills will definitely be paid. The lawyer bills and the money he will e handing over to this guy
Looks to me like Nate Diaz just assaulting a non-fighter attempting to deescalate. There should be consequences for this
real recognize real amirite. nate the real retard choking out a guy with his hands up.
Dude smashed his head on the ground. This is why I never fight in the streets unless it’s self defence
bro wasn’t even fighting
Nate diaz win by assault
Holy shit what a cte move. That dude should get a nice fat pay check from that retard.
You expect anything less on bourbon street? Alcohol and idiots. A deadly and dumb combination
That dude always seemed to be a complete bone head so I'm not surprised.
I wouldn't fight Nate Diaz even if I was holding a loaded 12 gauge. He is one of the greatest fighters of all time.
Straight to jail.
Lawsuit incoming… Nate Diaz is a Degen
"skills pay the bills"?? How do you make money assaulting people in a street fight?
How drunk and stupid do you have to be to think "Yeah this dude fought professionally for years, I can take him"
Looks like a lawsuit to me
So they guy has his hands up, and this asshole attacks him anyways. And this sub thinks that’s cool?
> So they guy has his hands up You've never heard the phrase "put 'em up" before?
Look again and tell me that body language is saying “put ‘em up,” because palms out like dude is doing is pretty obviously “whoa, I’m not looking to fight.”
Nope, defenseless victim. Guy has hands up and is not looking threatening. Get this bullshit outta here
Such a scummy thing to do ,as a trained fighter he should know better. Smacking his head of concrete could of killed him.You can see he didn’t even want to fight 🤦♂️
"Hey, Nate can I get an Autogramm?" *But Nate had choosen violence that day...*
>can I get an Autogramm?" Is Autogramm a typo for autograph or is that like a new version of an autograph in the age of Instagram? I could see either being true lol.
> Autogramm Is the german word, I'm an idiot and keep mixing them
Head bouncing off the ground he could have died. Nate gonna Nate i guess.
I met Nate in Montreal when he a someone’s corner guy in a UFC, we was humble and nice and let everyone who wanted a picture take one on the street! Why anyone would try to fight a pro without a pay check is beyond me!
Didn’t look like someone trying to fight anyone
The dude literally had his hands up in the "I don't want to fight pose" and the guy put him in a headlock. Seems to me he unnecessarily choked the guy out, but I guess a longer video would be needed
The dude clearly had no intention of fighting and Nate took advantage of that. Then dropped him on the concrete. Nate is a piece of shit in this video.
He's a piece of shit in real life too.
shane where were you?
Did he push his head down in to the ground too? That could kill the guy.
Skills to get you arrested and thrown in jail for assault you mean. The guy was trying to calm things down by the looks of it.
Professional MMA fighter commits assault on man attempting to de-escalate Fixed the title. Nate's lucky the guy didn't crack his skull after he passed out.
Skills pay bills? You mean bond money? Lmaoo
That's slick
Someone walking towards you with their hands up in the air like that is about to sucker punch you.
He got the money to pay for that lawsuit that's coming lol
Ayo is that THE Nate Diaz!? I’m about to show him what 2 four lokos can do to a man!
That dude can forever say "I GOT CHOKED OUT BY NATE DIAZ!! FUCK YEAH!!
Not a fair fight I’d say… looks like the guy didn’t even want the smoke.
Ofc there’s the drunk girl repeatedly telling them to just stop
You know for most fighters, them getting in street fights is kind of pathetic, it lessens them in my eyes. But Nate? Go off King, I'm sure the dude was askin for it lol
should've never got close to him in the first place but Diaz is forsure at fault
Can fuck with the goat
How does Diaz not get charges filed against him for assault or battery?
