Nate Diaz can add Thailand to his melee passport.

During the recent filming of a Russian fight-related reality series, "ALF Reality," Diaz and his entourage engaged in a scuffle with one of the contestants. Diaz's longtime friend and training partner, Jake Shields, was also present and released video clips of the brawl on social media Wednesday.

"ALF Reality" is a similarly-themed show to "The Ultimate Fighter." It's previous season featured Aljamain Sterling and Petr Yan as coaches. This time, it was Nate Diaz and Jon Jones.

"He's going to come over to Nate and start talking crap," Shields said in the narrated video. "Now he's talking to the boss. Right here he comes to Nate, and he starts saying, 'Oh, I'm a gangster,' kind of flashing Nate a little bit. You see Nate flash him back. That guy's running his mouth. I wasn't paying attention. I should've been. My fault. Luckily our guy Jose right there, he was watching. You can see him in the situation."

The video shows a light physical exchange between Diaz and the contestant, as show-runners, fighters, and entourage members jump between. The physicality increased as the contestant appeared to take a couple shots before putting his fists up to seemingly square off with any and all comes.

"Now the guy tried to spazz out and started acting crazy as people circled him," Shields said. "I didn't know this guy was known for fighting. … Had I been smart and watched the show, I'd realized this guy has been constantly being in fights. There are videos of him constantly coming up and choking people from behind."

Shields said the incident took place in a mansion, with multiple other rooms stemming off from where the melee took place. Diaz stood back, alongside Jones, as the contestant was restrained only for him to return moments later in a rage.

Eventually, an Inside Fighting reporter grabbed hold of the irate contestant, who eventually charged and tackled the media member. Clips showed people pulling and pushing, grabbing and shoving as the brawl was sorted out.

Shields, 46, shared video of him on the ground, being kicked and grabbed by the angry mob – which he says was not limited just to fighters.

"They tried telling me that the fighters jumped me," Shields said. "But to me, it was very clear to me that it was the staff and the workers. That was one of those moments where I was like, 'OK, I better diffuse the situation because what you see there is just a small percentage of the guys who were there. There were over a hundred Chechen and Dagestani guys. So I was like, 'Maybe instead of trying to fight these guys on an excluded island or a beach, it's better to calm it down a little."
