UFC fighter Nate Diaz has complied with an arrest warrant issued by the New Orleans Police Department in connection to his alleged involvement in a street brawl on Bourbon Street earlier this week.
Diaz’s representative, Zach Rosenfield, released a statement Thursday announcing that the fighter had turned himself in to the police department:
Nate voluntarily turned himself in to the New Orleans Police Department this morning approximately at 7:10 am. CT. We continue to look forward to presenting all the evidence and videos that show Nate was acting in self-defense.
The arrest warrant is for suspicion of second-degree battery, which is considered a felony in Louisiana and can be punishable by up to eight years in prison “with or without hard labor” and/or up to $2,000 fine.
The incident reportedly occurred at Misfits Boxing 6, which was held in New Orleans on Friday night. Diaz was allegedly involved in two different altercations during the event; initially nearly getting into a scuffle with reality TV star Chase DeMoor before later engaging in a fight with Logan Paul lookalike Rodney Petersen, whom Diaz put into an unconscious state by choking him out.
