Former UFC fighter Nate Diaz stood steadfast to his brawler reputation as he choked out Logan Paul‘s lookalike on the streets of New Orleans. The MMA fighter was in the stands to support his teammate, Chris Avila, who featured on a Misfits boxing card at the XULA Convention Center. The Stockton Slapper stirred the headlines as he was ejected from the building after throwing a water bottle at the Netflix star, Chase DeMoor. This only kicked off the madness as he ended up unleashing a feud in the streets.

In the clip that made rounds on the internet, the fans could witness the 38-year-old kneeing a man. Later on, Diaz transitioned to a choke submission and left the victim unconscious on the pavement. The video spread like wildfire and the likes of UFC star Conor McGregor jumped in to share their takes on the latest development. Likewise, visuals of UFC president Dana White have emerged in reaction to the controversy.
