Battery charge against fighter Diaz dismissed
Briefly

Nate Diaz is no longer facing a misdemeanor battery charge after the case was dismissed. The charge arose from an incident where he allegedly struck a nightclub bouncer. However, Diaz's attorney argued that the circulating video lacked crucial context, portraying Diaz as someone who attempted to deescalate a provoked confrontation. Diaz, a prominent figure in UFC history, has expressed interest in returning to the sport despite losing recent boxing matches against Jake Paul and Jorge Masvidal.
"The selected portion of the video that went viral omitted the prelude that Nate pushed back the security guard in his face to create space."
"Diaz showed great restraint and poise in trying to deescalate the altercation," said his attorney, highlighting his character under pressure.
