A man who was allegedly rendered unconscious by Nate Diaz swore vengeance against the UFC star and displayed a gruesome head wound.
The man, identified online as TikTok user Rodney Petersen, claimed he was placed in a chokehold by Diaz during a street altercation in New Orleans on Friday. Diaz rendered the man unconscious by choking him, causing him to collapse and strike his head on the ground.
When video of the altercation surfaced, Petersen’s resemblance to boxer-turned-influencer Logan Paul caused a commotion.
On his social media, Peterson has previously poked light at the confusion between him and his double. (MMA Fighting was unable to independently confirm that Petersen was the individual depicted in the street combat video.)
Petersen criticizes Diaz and the apparent case of mistaken identity in a new video.
“So I don’t know what the hell I did to Nate Diaz,” he said. “However, I’ll tell you what. I’m going to strike him out when I see him approaching. You caught me by surprise, man. Did you mistake me for Logan? “What the hell?”
A second video depicts Nate Diaz fleeing what appears to be a bar brawl that spilled into the street. Earlier on Friday, former footballer and reality star Chase DeMoor was involved in another altercation with Diaz, who hurled a water bottle at him at the Misfits Boxing 6 event where his longtime teammate Chris Avila was competing.
In August, Diaz is scheduled to box Jake Paul, the younger sibling of Logan Paul. This is his first fight since departing the UFC to become a free agent. In the fight announcement, he stated that he will return to the MMA promotion following the August 6 event.
