In response, the employee reportedly approached him to physically confront him, at which point Nate diaz hit him with an open slap in the face. The fight was quickly contained by other security guards in the house, who separated the two.

When authorities arrived, the former fighter had already left the scene, but an arrest warrant was issued just over a month later, on October 21.

Video of the exact moment of the fight circulated on the internet in early September, bringing to light the veracity of the reports. The footage aligns with the description presented in the court documents, although it is not yet possible to say whether they are exactly the same occurrence.
