There is apparently never a boring day in the world of Nate Diaz and while he has been pronounced in Thailand for a Russian reality TV series, things have not been otherwise.
Earlier this month it was announced that Nate Diaz would compete against Jon Jones in a Russian reality TV series similar to the Ultimate Fighter.
The news came as a big surprise for UFC fans, because they have waited for news about the potential title Unification Fight by Jon Jones against Tom Aspinall.
Although, only a few weeks after filming 'Alf Reality', which took place in Thailand, Chaos broke out between the team of Nate Diaz and a group of Dagestani hunters.

New images shows Moment Russian Fighter started fighting with Nate Diaz
It was announced last Wednesday that Diaz and his team left Thailand and no longer filmed the reality -TV series after a huge fight broke out between his team and some Russian hunters.
Nate's teammate, Jake Shields, claimed that the beef came from the historic revoeders of Diaz with both Khabib Nurmagomedov and Khamzat Chimaev.
Despite the claim of Shields that a huge fight had broken out, it was unclear how the fight started, but new images that have surfaced online see a Russian hunter who puts Diaz in the hands, which ignited a huge riot.
“American gangster, yes?” The Russian hunter asked Diaz when he got closer to his face.
“I am a Russian gangster, it would be a good fight, yes?” The hunter said while he tried to push Diaz, who reacted quickly enough and pushed him back.
“Zoik, what are you doing?” One of the team members said when he quickly jumped in to pull the Russian hunter away.
“Come here!” He continued to scream in the direction of Diaz.
Then a blow is thrown at the hunter who tried to fight Diaz, but it is unknown whether he is a member of the team of the former UFC star.
A riot started immediately when the 'Russian gangster' looked around and tried to choose who it was a blow to him.

According to Shields, Diaz and his team were stalked on motorcycles for days after the incident by Russian hunters before they left Thailand.
It is currently unknown who takes over from Diaz when filming 'Alf Reality', but the UFC Heavyweight Champion, Jones, is still in Thailand if he slows down his UFC decent.
