In late May, former UFC title contender Nick Diaz was involved in a domestic violence case in Las Vegas. According to reports, a woman claimed Diaz “grabbed her by the head and slammed her to the ground” during an altercation that happened in a private residence on Friday, May 25th.
Diaz was subsequently charged with felony domestic battery by strangulation and misdemeanor domestic battery, and was released upon posting bail amounting to $18,000. But on Tuesday, prosecutors working with the Nevada Clark County District Attorney’s office added two more charges: felony count of battery constituting domestic violence by strangulation and felony battery domestic violence resulting in substantial bodily harm.
