New York Post Makes Horrible Diaz Brother Error

Mixed martial arts veteran Nick Diaz is currently facing charges for domestic battery following the fighter’s arrest on Thursday night. Now it would appear that the New York Post attempted to report on the matter, but made a massive error in the process.

Nick Diaz was taken to the Clark County Detention Center after allegedly attacking a woman. The fighter is being charged with a felony case of domestic battery by strangulation and a misdemeanor charge of domestic battery.

The alleged victim was transported to a local hospital after the incident. Diaz was reportedly combative with police, as 12 units were dispatched to the scene.

After attending his 9:00 am court hearing on Saturday, May 26, Diaz made his $18,000 bail and was released from the detention center. Matt Staudt, a friend of Nick Diaz, took to Instagram to claim that Diaz was being set up by a woman that has allegedly been stalking the fighter for years.

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

The New York Post attempted to report on the matter, but erroneously stated that the fighter’s younger brother Nate Diaz was the individual involved in the concerning incident.
