A new view of the Nate Diaz street fight is shedding more light to the incident.

Many fans had wondered what led up to the street fight between Nate Diaz and a Logan Paul lookalike on Friday. And now that an alternate angle of the fight has been released we're learning new information about the moment.

The video shows many more people fighting, not just Diaz. It looked like pure madness in New Orleans.

The fight included Diaz putting someone later identified as Rodney Peterson into a choke and put to sleep.

According to MMA Fighting, who spoke with the New Orleans police, an arrest warrant was issued for Diaz on Monday and he's being charged with second-degree battery.

Peterson took to social media after the fight to show his injuries, including a bloody head, and to respond to Diaz.

"So I don't know what the hell I did to Nate Diaz," he says in the video. "But I'm telling you what... I'm gonna knock him the f--K out. Like, you caught me off guard dude. Did you think I was Logan? What the f--K?"

So far Diaz has not been arrested.

Unfortunately, we still don't know what exactly started the fight or why Diaz targeted Peterson but some theories include spillover from the earlier water bottle-throwing incident, Diaz thinking Peterson was Logan Paul, or possibly just a drunken coincidence. We may never know the real truth.
