Nate Diaz was reportedly involved in a brawl while he was filming a Russian reality show in Thailand.
It is being reported by BoxingNews.com, that Nate Diaz was with Jon Jones and Jake Shields as part of the show. During part of the show, someone approached Diaz by trying to get a hold of him. It is alleged that Diaz slapped him, as an altercation broke out.
It is then alleged that someone from Diaz’s team punched the person. Things did not stop there. The man reportedly returned as Shields tackled him.
Jake Sheilds recalled the details of the altercation, “Right when I started to go off on him, I got just blitzed from the side. Not where the fighters were, a couple of guys just started blitzing me, which to me seemed like they were crew working there, not fighters because the fighters were in the chairs. To me it was very clear that it was the staff and the workers. That was one of those moments where’s like I better diffuse the situation.”
“Why are we going to go back and film a show — it’s one thing to be fighting the fighters, that’s why I went out there with Nate, I thought it was a possibility some of these fighters will try to test him — but when you have potentially the crew hitting you too, it’s like no, f*ck that,” Shields said.
The incident has raised a strong reaction based on Diaz’s history. Nate Diaz, Nick Diaz, and Shields were part of a 2010 Strikeforce: Nashville brawl.
Meanwhile, Nate was also part of a brawl backstage as part of the Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva card.
It is unclear if the latest brawl incident will impact Nate’s ability on his Russian reality show.
