Nate Diaz stopped and filmed when he saw two men fighting in the street on Saturday night.
Nate Diaz opted against watching Roman Dolidze beat Marvin Vettori at UFC Vegas 104 this weekend.
Instead, the UFC legend travelled to San Diego where he stumbled across a less-skilled but equally entertaining scrap.
Conor McGregor‘s rival whipped out his phone and began recording two men fighting in the street.

Nate Diaz films ‘friendly’ street fight
In footage shared to Diaz’s Instagram story, the two men initially appear to be playfully sparring.
However, everything changed when one of them tried to replicate the ‘Showtime Kick’ Anthony Pettis famously landed on Benson Henderson during their fight at WEC 53 in December 2010.
The unknown man jumped off the wall and towards his opponent with a kick, only to be countered by a sweep that sent him tumbling to the ground where he took a bit of a beating.
After getting back to his feet and throwing the other man to the ground, he once again got himself in trouble by aiming a flying kick at his rival.
After this, the street fight became a bit of a stalemate with both men rolling around in the middle of the wet road.
Eventually, they seemed to figure out their fight was pointless. The two men stood up, shook hands, and settled their differences without either of them realizing one of the world’s most famous fighters was watching.
Nate Diaz plans to fight forever
Diaz brought his 15-year UFC stay to an end after tapping out Tony Ferguson at UFC 279 in September 2022.
Since then, the 39-year-old MMA icon has fought in boxing bouts against Jake Paul and Jorge Masvidal.
Diaz is now contemplating a return to MMA’s premier league, which he believes is devoid of stars in 2025.
Ultimately, he’s in no rush to make his UFC comeback because he plans to continue fighting forever.
“The legacy, I don’t think about it as done,” Diaz told Full Violence.
“I think it’s underrated, and I think there’s like f—–, I think I left more of an impact than a lot of these f—– [other guys], anybody has, really.
“I mean, Conor [McGregor] has [left a legacy] in a way, and then you get like, my brother did – but all that s— gets forgotten about too.
“It can go away because you ain’t getting credit to begin with anyway… You might as well keep that s— going forever. That’s why I plan on fighting forever.”
