A troubling drama has erupted around UFC veteran Nick Diaz. Serious allegations from his girlfriend recently surfaced on social media, where she claimed that the American fighter was drugged and forcibly taken to a rehabilitation facility in Mexico.
Diaz’s girlfriend alleged that his rumored cousin, Ruben, drugged Diaz and transported him to Mexico against his will. She claims Diaz is currently confined in a rehabilitation center where he has reportedly tried to escape multiple times, only to be brought back. She wrote:
"Nick has been forcibly taken by his cousin and transported across the border into Mexico, where he is confined in a rehabilitation facility against his will. He was drugged during this process and has made numerous attempts to escape, but the authorities consistently return him to the facility. Communication with him is severely restricted. I am unable to speak with him or receive updates directly."

The situation has drawn strong reactions from within Diaz’s inner circle. His recovery and conditioning coach, Jose Garcia, publicly dismissed the girlfriend’s version of events. He openly questioned whether the public truly believed a scenario involving drugging and kidnapping was possible with Diaz.

The exchange quickly escalated into personal territory, with the coach accusing the girlfriend of causing more harm than help. He urged her to stop posting emotional content about Diaz. He wrote:
"@kay209x go away. You [have] done more damage than help. You need therapy yourself. You need mental health professionals to help you to heal from all the trauma and bullsh*t you and Nick [have] been through STOP POSTING!"
In response, she defended her actions, claiming she supported Diaz when others were absent. She wrote:
"@bbjninjarecovery really because last I checked I’m the one who kissed my lips on his and brought Nick back to life, those days when none of you were around."
The back-and-forth grew more explicit when the coach suggested that her lifestyle was detrimental to Diaz’s recovery. She responded by implying that Diaz was aware and accepted her past, and further personal attacks followed.
