Open Extended Reactions
Combat sports star Nate Diaz is no longer facing a misdemeanor battery charge in Las Vegas, after a criminal case against him was dismissed Thursday.
The charge stemmed from an incident in August, in which Diaz was accused of striking a bouncer at Omnia nightclub inside Caesars Palace. Video of the incident, which circulated online in September, showed Diaz in a brief altercation with a security guard. Diaz’s attorney Ross Goodman, who has represented several UFC stars in Nevada, including Diaz’s older brother Nick, said the video lacked crucial context.
