I didn't start it," Diaz told TMZ. "People like to hate."
A rep spoke to TMZ confirming Diaz's story, saying that Nick was not the aggressor in the incident and that the attackers were swinging chairs and fighting with club and casino employees.
When asked if the men were trying to fight him because of his notoriety as an MMA fighter, TMZ reported that Diaz did not believe the men knew who he was. Diaz also declined to press charges, noting that "They got the worst of it."
Taylor Fisher, a spokesperson for Hyde Las Vegas, said the fight did not happen inside the nightclub, so she didn't have information on the situation.
"We enjoyed having Nick at Hyde Bellagio last night and never had any problems with him in the club," Fisher said. "He was very well behaved."
MGM spokesperson Ivette Monet said she was unable to provide information on the incident due to "guest privacy purposes."
While no major injuries seem to have been incurred, TMZ reports that Diaz got a "nasty gash" on the top of his head which may require stitches but which Diaz say won't impede his return to sanctioned fighting.
Neither Diaz nor his manager Lloyd Pierson responded to requests for confirmation.
This caps a rough week Diaz. After a bottle-throwing melee between Team McGregor and Team Diaz at the UFC 202 pre-fight press conference, all members of both entourages were banned with the exception of licensed cornermen.
