Media Daniel Cormier admits to being “a little peeved”

[CasualBot]

Your occupation doesn't preclude you from suffering damages from felonious battery.

The devil is in the details on if Nate's actions were legal. The second set of details on if the damage he caused the plaintiff was reasonable.

It's not fleshed out yet. We'll see.



We'll see what the courts say. I tend to agree with you, but, choking someone unconscious and then dropping them back of head first on the asphalt could be construed a lot of ways by a prosecutor or civil court. We view a guillotine choke as a means of self defense, but the general public don't necessarily view it that way...it can be viewed as deadly force, as any choking would be.

Not head first. Clearly on video it was standing, and released.

Once he backed up Nate,
and nate walked away after... Nate is fine.

Unless the state has an odd interpretation of the law.

Nate is already in the clear here.

Been a witness in count.
To a death (from a head hit on ground), and death far surpasses a guy trying to sue for a group brawl.

This TMZ shit is a problem in this generation because people "setup" videos to SEEM like random.
All these videos, are from a distance ... focused on a calm Nate, then a wild Nate.

Nate shows repeated rationale,
first backing up from the street to the curb, then all the way to the wall (less than 12 inches) .
HE CHOOSES choke instead of provoking punches/fists. Then, he released.
He didn't continue when the threat stopped. He walked AWAY.

This IS the evidence on the video,
and there is more to the brawl that had nothing to do with Nate.

DC makes fun of his own fatness. Like dude is stocky but make no mistake even right now would throw most people in the world around like ragdolls. Not all "fat" is like Roy Nelson.

I’m all about that cake and chicken

this is all a defense lawyer perspective. there's two sides in criminal court. Including what happened immediately before the video.

Secondly, civil court is a whole other ballgame. Nate could have Rener Gracie testifying against him that the way he dropped him after rendering him unconscious was not what an expert like Nate should have done. There's a lot of variables that can impact this case both criminally and civilly.

Objection.

Council cannot make declarations on behalf of an expert witness.

We'd have to let Rener say this himself, with his invisible stack of expert evidence.

Don't the police know who Nate Diaz is? He's an MMA fighter, these guys have their own separate law, the regular citizen law doesn't apply for them

 

[613]

If this was one time thing he may have a point. But Nate gets involved in shit like this all the tie

 

[kalabula]

Interesting to see DC standing up for Nate considering Nate’s insulted DC on the internet.

Jesus! I like Nate but DC would kill him.

 

[1s1k]

So because Nick said something nasty to DC that means DC can’t be objective and tell the truth. Good thing he didn’t mean tweet him or DC might be looking to cancel Nate.

 

[regmma123]

Well most people would probably make that face if someone they couldn't stand put them on a highlight reel

 

[Coolkid666]

"victim"

guy has a fight record,

and walked up to nate with hands up.

victim of embarrassment, not violence.

ok

 

[jsbx45]

Kinda hard to tell the whole story from that video. Sure didn't look like the Paul Lookalike guy was attacking Nate. Unless Diaz can somehow prove he was defending himself - and maybe he was - The lookalike dude is likely to make some money off this one.

 

[normalstreet]

Fake Paul has a case for some easy settlement cash tho. Video shows him walking up to Nate with his hands up in a non threatening manner, Nate had room to back away but chose to lunge forward and wrap his neck. Then put him to sleep and dropped his head on the floor. They’ll settle out of court for a decent amount

This is a really bad take. As you said, dude walked towards Nate which makes him the aggressor. "Hands up" being a universal indicator of not being a threat is junk BLM science. Nate was backed up to a store front. Outside of making a football move and running through crowds of people, he had nowhere to go. Nate was being a good goddammed American and stood his ground.

Charges dropped, dude pays Nate's lawyer fees.

 

[Steve Fox]

Has Jake Paul said anything about this?!

I must know what Jake Paul thinks about this mess!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TCE]

Suing fighters never goes your way.

Look at Joe Schilling, he wins his court case. Look at Mike Tyson on the plane.

You ain't winning against high paid lawyers from celebrities/fighters.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

This is how far we've fallen: people on an MMA site want a career Paul-lookalike to win a lawsuit against an MMA fighter.

 

[GeraltOfRivia]

him being a pro fighter himself.

LMFAO

 

[CanMMAfan]

Getting into streetfights with people you don't know is a recipe for eventually getting stabbed or shot.

 

[VAfan]

LMFAO

he has a fight on his record. he's a pro fighter. i didn't say he was good.

 

[MMA_AZ]

Because you couldn't handle the hard work.

Nathan can handle the gangsta life.

True. He's real quick to throw a water bottle
