UFC welterweight fighter Nick Diaz has been a frequent visitor to the popular “Vegas strip” for most of his career. The city of Las Vegas suffered a great tragedy on Sunday night. People were gathered around for a music festival near the Mandalay Bay Resort last night, when a gunman opened fire on the crowd from the 32nd floor of the resort. ABC News has revealed that 58 people were killed in the shooting, with 515 people having been injured.
The act of violence has become the most devastating shooting in modern U.S. history.
Now people are offering their thoughts and feelings to those that have been affected by this tragedy. Among them, UFC’s Nick Diaz has provided a video with his real-time reaction from Las Vegas to the tragedy.

Nick Diaz has cultivated a storied career in mixed martial arts. With a record of 26-9, Diaz has taken on some of the sport’s greatest competitors, from Anderson Silva to Frank Shamrock.
He’s been out of action since his no-contest to the aforementioned Anderson Silva in 2015. Fight fans are anxiously awaiting the return of Nick, but a return at this point is unlikely for the man who put Stockton on the map.
