Nick Diaz found himself in quite the situation yesterday. The UFC fighter found himself accused of domestic violence.
And here’s where things get tricky – the report was filed by a woman who had been allegedly stalking Diaz. She posted comments such as these regularly:
Diaz himself has been out on bail and released a video of his own injury that’s quite graphic:
Shields is standing by Diaz

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

AJ Agazarm is remaining mum in spite of having spent more time with Diaz recently than either of these two
UFC released a press release saying they will be doing an independent investigation of what transpired:
“The organization does not tolerate domestic violence and requires all athletes to adhere to the UFC Fighter Conduct Policy,” the promotion stated today in a press release hours after Diaz’s arrest on multiple charges of domestic violence . “Every athlete is deserving of due process and this situation, as with any official allegations, will be duly reviewed and thoroughly investigated by an independent party.”
