WATCH: Nate Diaz CHOKES OUT Logan Paul look-alike during brawl on New Orleans street after Misfits Boxing event
Nate Diaz was recently caught on tape choking out a man bearing an uncanny resemblance to famous YouTuber Logan Paul on a New Orleans street.
The incident occurred last night after the Misfit Boxing's MF & DAZN: X Series 006 event, where Diaz was in attendance to support his teammate Chris Avilla.
After the event concluded, it seems the younger Diaz sibling went out on the town and got caught up in an altercation with some unknown individuals. Nate Diaz appeared to be involved in a melee and ended up choking a man out.
A video tweeted by combat sports journalist Michael Benson shows two groups of people involved in a scuffle for reasons currently unknown and Nate Diaz squaring up to the Logan Paul lookalike.
While it appears the man attempted to calm the Stockton slugger with his hands up and prevent him from rushing someone, Diaz can be seen grabbing the man and locking his head in a choke. Nate Diaz also sneaked in a knee to the body as a woman nearby pleaded with them to stop.
Interestingly, during the Misfits event, Diaz was also involved in an altercation with Chase DeMoor.
