On Wednesday, the Miami Herald published a story about an MMA fighter who’d been hospitalized after he attacked cops at a local police station following an arrest on domestic violence charges. The initial story identified Diaz as the person arrested and said he was hospitalized with injuries following the altercation with police.
As soon as the story was released, Diaz’s representative Zach Rosenfield released a statement to MMA Fighting disputing the accuracy of the report.
“This story is 100 percent inaccurate, untrue and irresponsible,” Rosenfield said while adding that Diaz had been home from attending the Super Bowl in Miami for over a week.
