Nick Diaz Is Out Of Jail, Posts Video Of His Own Serious Injury

Former Strikeforce and WEC champion Nick Diaz was arrested on Friday, May 25, by Las Vegas Police and taken to the Clark County Detention Center. The fighter has since made bail. Taking to social media, the Stockton native has decided to show off a brutal wound.

Diaz is now facing a felony charge of domestic battery by strangulation, as well as a misdemeanor charge of domestic battery. The alleged victim was later identified as female and was transported to a local hospital following the incident.

Diaz had his court hearing at 9:00 A.M. on Saturday, May 26, before making his $18,000 bail. Following the initial reports of the incident, Diaz’s friend Matt Staudt took to social media to offer his opinion on the matter.

Over Instagram, Staudt claimed that the alleged victim was a woman that he believes has been stalking Diaz for years. Staudt went on to claim that the woman allegedly falsified the entire ordeal for which Diaz is now facing charges.

If it wasn’t clear, I’ve got this guys back if he needs me always and completely. One of the best people I know, and that’s the truth, he just plays by his rules, views the world very differently than most and has been fucked constantly. Seeing how everything evolved here infuriates me. The news is out so better to address than not, and for my own sake, not really on his behalf. I’ve seen drunk guys get in Nick’s face and avoid serious injury because he’s a martial artist and a killer but knows that and he’s passed the point of needing to prove it. He doesn’t even act tough to people… There is no scenario where Nick would put his hands on anyone unless it was necessary self-defense, and then watch the fuck out. Moving on, the girl who is accusing him is the most deranged and insane I’ve met to date. She has been obsessed with and stalked Nick for maybe 2 years now. Suicide attempts, calls to his family from fake numbers, thousand of calls a day – yes thousands, showing up everywhere he goes following his story… He changed his number to get away but Vegas is small and they crossed paths again. She left their interaction feeling some type of way yesterday and put in a fake report to get even and have him arrested which she’s threatened to do many times before as well. I can’t even fully digest this whole thing because of how insane and wrong it is. If Nick’s at fault it is because he has chosen again and again and again not to make a police report against her like I’ve advised profusely in the past when she has hit him or broke his phone or broke into his place or stolen things from him or threatened suicide, etc. Everyone is going to think what they think when they see the news so it’s very important for me to at least put something out that is actually factual. #fakenews
