Former UFC star Nate Diaz was initially in hot water for a New Orleans street fight that left a man unconscious, but now he’s off the hook.
Former UFC star Nate Diaz won’t face criminal repercussions for an April street fight caught on camera.
On Monday, the Orleans Parish District Attorney officially refused to pursue any further legal action against Diaz, according to an online court docket. Shortly after the decision was filed, Diaz’s representative, Zach Rosenfield, issued the following statement to MMA Junkie via text message: “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 clear on video, clear in pictures and clear from the multiple other videos Rodney posted before and after.“We appreciate the Orleans Parish District Attorney taking the time to review all aspects of this case and their decision to not proceed with it.”
