Nate Diaz's former management firm, The Ballengee Group, has challenged the UFC star to a different kind of fight.

The Ballengee Group is suing Diaz in a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Dallas County (Texas) District Court for theft, breach of contract and fraud, among other charges. TMZ was first to report the story.

The Dallas-based sports agency, which Diaz hired in 2014, is seeking more than $1 million from Diaz and claimed he failed to pay for its services related to several of his fights, most notably his pair of big-money bouts against Conor McGregor in 2016 (at UFC 196 in March and UFC 202 in August).
