Nate Diaz had an eventful weekend, getting into multiple altercations at a Misfits Boxing event in New Orleans — including one with a Logan Paul lookalike.
In the viral video, the mixed martial arts superstar can be seen coming face-to-face with Rodney Petersen, a TikToker who is popular solely because he looks like the older Paul brother. After a brief shoving match, Diaz locked in a ninja choke and held on until Petersen went unconscious.
Once Petersen was out, Diaz released the choke and the TikToker fell backward onto the street.

When recounting the incident, Peterson said he had no idea what started the fight, but showed off a gnarly gash on the back of his head from where his head bounced off of the concrete.
“So, I don’t know what the hell I did to Nate Diaz,” he said before making a bold claim. “But I tell you what, I’m going to knock him the f–k out when I know he’s coming. You caught me off-guard dude. What’d you think I was Logan?”

Earlier in the night, Diaz, who was at the event to support his training partner and close friend Chris Avila, got into a scuffle with reality TV star turned “boxer” Chase DeMoor. Diaz had thrown a bottle at DeMorr, and another video appears to show DeMoor brawling in the streets with a group of men.

Diaz is currently set to box Jake Paul on August 5, assuming he can stay out of trouble.
