Popular UFC fighter Nick Diaz was involved in a brawl at the Bellagio early Wednesday morning.

Four days after his brother fought Conor McGregor at UFC 202, Nick Diaz had his own fight in Las Vegas, but his wasn't against only one man.

According to TMZ Sports, the former UFC welterweight title challenger was jumped by four men outside a nightclub early Wednesday morning. Per reports, Diaz went to the bathroom outside the club Hyde in the Bellagio Casino around 2:30 a.m. and accidentally bumped into another man. Diaz said he apologized and that he didn't want any trouble but the guy didn't take it well and he and three others jumped Diaz.

"I didn't start it," Diaz told TMZ.

A rep spoke to TMZ confirming Diaz's story, saying that Nick was not the aggressor in the incident and that the attackers were swinging chairs and fighting with club and casino employees.

When asked if the men were trying to fight him because of his notoriety as an MMA fighter, TMZ reported that Diaz did not believe the men knew who he was. Diaz also declined to press charges, noting that "They got the worst of it."
