Nik Richie -- the guy behind TheDirty.com -- was detained by police last weekend after K.O.ing some dude in a bar fight in Pittsburgh ... but according to Nik, it was all in self-defense. 
Sources close to the fight tell TMZ ... Richie -- who's married to former "Bachelor" winner Shayne Lamas -- was leaving the bathroom at McFadden's Bar when some random dude recognized him, started talking trash ... and then shoved him.
We're told the guy made another aggressive move toward Nik -- so Richie socked the guy in the face ... knocking him to the ground.
Cops quickly arrived to the scene and placed both men in handcuffs ... but Richie was eventually released after the situation was defused.
We're told Richie does not plan to press any charges over the incident.

That cop must have been very disappointed he didn't get a chance to use his baton on him... damned media cameras!
This scrawny, s***my little twit, with the "I bleached my hair..so I'm cool, right?" hair? This is the moron that runs a website where he rips on how unattractive women in the posted photo's are?
This blonde haired spawn of Gary Coleman and Herve "Just call me Tattoo!", is the "man" behind dirty.com? The site all the other couch-humpers go to in order to bag about the girls who showed the audacity to turn them down for a "feel" on the dance floor during their first date?
Now I get it...he must have been laughed out of school on a daily basis whenever he tried to talk to a girl...so now, being the ego bashed schizo that he is, he goes out of his way to hate on girls out on the town with their friends.
OMG...HaHahaAhAhAhAhahAhaahAhAhaha
but Richie was eventually released after the situation was diffused (sic)

Arrived "to" the scene? Does TMZ not employ copy editors? Try arrived "at" the scene. Embarrassing.
