According to TMZ, this Wednesday in he early hours of the morning MMA fighter Nick Diaz was at the Hyde nightclub at the Bellagio hotel, Las Vegas when he accidentally bumped into another customer on the way to the bathroom. Diaz apparently apologized, and said that he didn’t want any trouble, when he was attacked by the other person’s 3 friends.
According to the report, Diaz was hit in the head while trying to defend himself, at which point the brawl grew as others jumped in from the casino floor:
We’re told Nick apologized and said he didn’t want any trouble, but 3 other men then joined the first guy and jumped Nick … who tells us, “I didn’t start it. They didn’t know who I was.”
He tried to defend himself, and got hit hard in the head — and then the fight spilled out of the bathroom, and out onto the Bellagio’s casino floor.
The melee was insane — the club’s rep says the attackers were swinging chairs and brawling with club and casino staffers. They were eventually removed by security.
Nick told the Bellagio he didn’t want to press charges, and told us, “They got the worst of it.”
