Nate Diaz is no longer in trouble with the law regarding an alleged altercation at a Las Vegas nightclub in 2024, according to his team.
A Diaz representative confirmed Thursday to MMA Junkie that Diaz had his misdemeanor battery charge dismissed at a court hearing Thursday. Online records confirm Diaz had such a bench trial hearing but still lists the case as active, though often times such records take time to update.
ESPN first reported the news.
An arrest warrant was filed for Diaz on Oct. 21 stemming from an alleged Aug. 25 incident at Omnia nightclub at Caesars Palace. Diaz was accused of pushing a nightclub bouncer and leaving the scene before police arrived.
News of the arrest warrant came weeks after a video surfaced online with Diaz and a bouncer getting into an altercation. It was unclear if the incidents were the same.
Diaz, 39, has not competed in combat sports since a July boxing win over Jorge Masvidal, though recently said publicly that he’s setting his sights on a UFC return – and a title.
