Nick Diaz and Joe Riggs’ UFC 57 fight extended beyond the octagon to a hospital brawl, which is discussed in VICE’s upcoming “Dark Side of the Cage” series, airing alongside an exploration of Diaz’s career and controversies.
Nick Diaz and Joe Riggs had a UFC 57 fight that didn’t just stop in the octagon; it spilled over to the hospital. Yeah, you heard that right.
After Riggs snagged a unanimous decision win against Diaz back in February 2006, things got wild. The infamous post-fight brawl at the hospital is still talked about today. Sadly, there’s no video footage of the chaos. But don’t worry, it’s a hot topic in VICE’s upcoming Dark Side of the Cage series, airing Wednesday night at 10 p.m. ET.
Curious? Check out an exclusive clip below where Diaz and Riggs spill the beans on how this after-hours showdown kicked off. It’s part of this week’s episode of Nick Diaz vs The World.
VICE teases that the episode dives deep into Diaz’s “extraordinary five-year ban for marijuana use.” It questions whether the world’s ganging up on him or if he’s his own worst enemy. Intriguing, right?
Oh, and guess who’s making an appearance? None other than former UFC welterweight champ and past Diaz rival, Georges St-Pierre. Should be interesting!
