The MMA community was surprised to see Nate Diaz’s name in the headlines after getting involved in an altercation with a social media personality.
Diaz attended the Misfit Boxing 6 fight on April 22 at the XULA Convocation Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, to support his teammate Chris Avila. Avila defeated Paul Bamba by unanimous decision at the event.
While he was there to support his teammate, he almost got into a brawl with reality TV star Chase DeMoor. The TV star said something to Diaz, and the former UFC fighter threw a water bottle at him. Fortunately, security was there to stop both Diaz and DeMoor from getting into a fight at Misfit Boxing 6.

Clout chasing bums. What’s he supposed to do with brawls breaking out all around him & some jackass is sole focused on him approaching in a increasingly sketchy aggresive manner. Even tried backing up before establishing hand control to prevent being swung on.
Self defense imo
Fake Paul coming at him
I wonder if he thought he was the real Paul brother….
Do not enter my personal space during a gentlemanly disagreement such as that and you’ll be fine, don’t and I’m trying to drop you or put you out to create and opportunity to get away. You notice Nate’s eyes were on everyone else the whole time.
