NATE DIAZ has been spotted for the first time since seemingly choking a man UNCONSCIOUS in a street fight.
The former UFC lightweight title challenger was involved a mass brawl following the Misfits Boxing event in New Orleans on Friday night.

Fan favourite Diaz didn’t throw any punches – instead choking a man OUT COLD with a standing guillotine after being rushed upon.
Diaz wasn’t quite as ruthless with the bloke as he would’ve been inside the octagon, softening his landing on the street instead of dropping him on the concrete.
The MMA superstar has kept a low profile after the brawl, although he recently posted a snap of himself outside a private jet to his Instagram.
Diaz looked menacing as he stood alongside team-mate and good friend Chris Avila – who was in action on the Misfits card.
The 38-year-old’s accompanying caption read: “Products of a dying breed.”
Diaz’s legion of followers were quick to comment, with one saying: “Other dude still asleep on Bourbon Street.”
Another said: “Bro fleeing the scene of the fight.”
And another said: “Bro whopped 7 people on the way to this jet.”
Nate Diaz is gearing up for a grudge match with Jake Paul
One remarked: “Bro acting like he didn’t just beat 2 people yesterday.”
Another chimed in: “Why did u KO Logan Paul look alike, brotha?”
The man choked out by Diaz turned out to be a TikTok user Rodney Petersen – who spends his time impersonating YouTube superstar Logan Paul.
Petersen said of the incident: “So I don’t know what the hell I did to Nate Diaz.
“But I’ll telling you what, I’m going to knock him the f*** out when I know he’s coming.
“You caught me off guard, dude. Did you think I was Logan? What the f***?”
Diaz will be back in action on August 5, locking horns with Jake Paul in a boxing match – his first outing since departing the UFC last September.
