UFC Star Nick Diaz has been arrested on domestic abuse charges after allegedly strangling a woman and breaking her hip.

Diaz, 34, was arrested by Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department after an incident on Thursday evening, MMAJunkie reported.

He has been charged with felony domestic battery by strangulation, as well as misdemeanor domestic battery.

Police were called to the home about 7.20pm local time and a source with knowledge of the case says 12 units in total were sent out.

Diaz was reportedly hostile to the arresting officers and his bail has been set at $18,000 - the majority of which comes from his strangulation charge. The fighter must face court on Saturday morning before he can be released.

His alleged victim was taken to hospital after the incident.

Social media personality Front Row Brian said sources at Las Vegas Police had told him the woman suffered a broken hip and Diaz had fought officers inside Clark Country Detention Center.

A representative for Diaz says the fighter is not a violent person, and would not hurt someone else even if he was provoked.
