Nate Diaz recently got into trouble after he got involved in a street brawl in New Orleans. Nate Diaz choked out a guy and now faces second-degree battery charges. Diaz has a fight coming up against Youtuber/boxer Jake Paul later this August and thus is out after making a bond for $10,000.

Mike Perry voiced his support for Nate Diaz. He recalls the time he spent with Diaz and as a fighter relates to the latest incident. “I won this thing where I get to hang out with Nate Diaz and his crew and we go to the fights, we go to the club, we go to hang out, and it was exactly what you would think it would be”

“Sometimes people see fighters in real life,…,” Perry says. “I don’t know if they want to test themselves or they want to just be rude or just try to maybe be confident in front of some girl they’re with or something, and be like, ‘You know this fighter? Well, watch this.’ And they try to be disrespectful”
