Former UFC star Nate Diaz is in a world of trouble right now. This is after the 38-year-old was involved in a disturbing street fight in New Orleans on Saturday that led to a man — who happens to be a Logan Paul impersonator — getting himself choked out unconscious by Diaz. According to reports, Diaz has now been slapped with an arrest warrant for his involvement in the shocking incident.

For starters, here's a look at the incident in question. In it, you can see Diaz dropping the man right on the street after putting him in a choke hold:

In the brief clip above, you can see how the Logan Paul impersonator had his hands up and seemingly tried to speak with Diaz in a calm demeanor. Nate was having none of it, though, and he put him in a devastating choke hold that had the man out cold in seconds. According to TMZ Sports, however, Diaz's camp believes that the former UFC champ was merely defending himself:

“The 38-year-old fighter has yet to publicly comment on the situation 
 but sources close to the fighter tell TMZ Sports he did not believe the man he choked out was acting as a peacemaker — saying there was a larger fight happening in the area and the guy was part of that group. They're adamant Diaz was simply defending himself,” read the report.
