In less than 24 hours, Jake Paul will step on the canvas opposite the former UFC fighter, Nate Diaz. Both fighters just had their weigh-in done, under the supervision of the UFC veteran, Chael Sonnen. All the while the tension from the final press conference loomed. The conference was hosted by the famous MMA journalist, Ariel Helwani, and Jake Paul kept on provoking his opponent the whole time. While Diaz didn’t respond much to the provocations of Paul as he didn’t want to sabotage the highest payout of his combat sports career. But Diaz’s entourage couldn’t hold back against Jake Paul’s trolling.

The whole ruckus happened between both teams and the conversation escalated to such a level that a brawl broke out. Reportedly, Paul wrote on X that Diaz’s team is threatening to sue his team after they swung first amid the feud. Even one guy on Diaz’s team is also hospitalized at the moment.
