A few days ago, Diaz landed himself in a fierce controversy after engaging in a brawl with influencer Chase DeMoor. Diaz was attending the Misfits Boxing 6 event to support his friend Chris Avila. There, things got heated between him and DeMoor, which resulted in an altercation between the two.

Things turned uglier when the fight continued outside the arena, and Diaz choked out the famous Logan Paul lookalike Rodney Peterson, who was also present at the scene. Due to this, the New Orleans Police Department charged the Stockton native with second-degree battery. However, the Stockton Slugger was freed on bond.
