Nate could end up dealing with a lawsuit real soon but for now, he has to deal with the New Orleans police.<\/p>\n<p>New Orleans police have confirmed that they have issued an arrest warrant for Nate Diaz for second degree battery after going through video footage of the incident. In New Orleans, <strong>second degree battery is considered a felony and is subject to a $2,000 fine along with a max of 8 years jail time<\/strong> and could include hard labor. <\/p>\n<p>Diaz was in New Orleans to support his sparring partner and ex-UFC fighter <strong>Chris Avila<\/strong> who was a part of Misfits Boxing 6. During the event, Nate also had an incident with <strong>Chase DeMoor<\/strong>, a reality TV star.
