Nate Diaz made headlines yesterday after he choked an influencer who looked like Logan Paul unconscious after the Misfits 006 PPV. The Stockton Slugger was in attendance at New Orleans for the Misfits event. Nate came in to support his teammate Chris Avila who took on Paul Bamba in a four-round boxing bout.

This incident took place outside the event when Sydney Peterson approached Nate. The UFC legend landed a knee to the body and choked him out with a submission manoeuvre. After regaining consciousness, the Logan Paul lookalike posted a video on Twitter where he showed his bruises and delivered a stern warning to Nate Diaz.

“So I don’t know what the hell I did to Nate Diaz. But I’m telling you what I’m gonna knock him the f*** out. Like you caught me off guard, what did you think I was Logan? What the f***?”
As of now, The Stockton Slugger has not commented on the situation. However, it seems highly unlikely that Rodney Peterson will attack Nate Diaz. But there is a possibility that the Tiktok star will sue Diaz for his unnecessary assault. Nate Diaz’s next opponent Jake Paul and his brother Logan have trolled him by mimicking the entire incident on Twitter.
Who is Logan Paul’s lookalike Rodney Peterson that was choked out by Nate Diaz?
Rodney Peterson is an American TikToker who shot up to fame after viewers mistook him for YouTuber and pro boxer Logan Paul in 2021. Consequently, his videos on the social media platform went viral and he gained millions of followers. Rodney is a 34-year-old dad from Iowa. However, it is to be noted that there is not much information available about his wife and kids on social media.
The Logan Paul lookalike accepted the comparisons drawn and started using this to his advantage. He started gaining more views and followers as time progressed. In 2022, Logan Paul recognized Rodney Peterson and ever since the TikTok star has made appearances in several videos and podcasts of The Maverick.
One can witness Rodney attending various fighting events and regularly posting videos on his TikTok. However, he was unlucky at the Misfits event as he suffered brutal injuries to his head after his physical altercation with UFC legend Nate Diaz.
