Former UFC welterweight title contender Nick Diaz has made the headlines once again. This time, the 34-year-old Stockton native is allegedly involved in a domestic violence case.
According to reports, Diaz was taken into custody by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department on Friday night at a private residence after “being combative” with police officers during the arrest. The complainant, a female, was said to have been transported to a local hospital.
Diaz has been charged with felony domestic battery by strangulation and misdemeanor domestic battery. However, a close friend of the fighter claims Nick was simply a victim of circumstance.
