‘Boom, and I cracked him’: Watch Nick Diaz, Joe Riggs recall infamous hospital fight after UFC 57
Nick Diaz and Joe Riggs’ UFC 57 fight didn’t end inside the octagon — it continued at the hospital.
Diaz and Riggs were involved in an infamous post-bout fight following Riggs’ unanimous decision win against Diaz in February 2006. Video of the hospital brawl was never released, but it is a talking point in the upcoming edition of VICE’s Dark Side of the Cage series, which airs Wednesday night at 10 p.m. ET.
Check out an exclusive clip below featuring Diaz and Riggs giving their accounts of how the fight after the fight began from this week’s Nick Diaz vs The World episode.
According to VICE, the episode about Diaz will focus on his “extraordinary five-year ban for marijuana use,” and asks if the world is against the popular UFC star, or if Diaz is “his own worst enemy.”
The episode also features former UFC welterweight champion, and past Diaz opponent, Georges St-Pierre.
