Finally, the year’s biggest crossover fight got over. Many of those who expected an early stoppage to the match were in for a disappointment as Nate Diaz‘s legendary drag-and-play-for-time tactics came in handy to ensure the fight went the full distance. But while Jake Paul and Diaz got about their business, a side track in the plot caught the attention of a few. Eli Seckbach’s ES News shared an update on former football player and reality show star Chase DeMoor ingloriously exiting the American Airlines Arena today.
The two-and-a-half-minute clip shows the security detail escort DeMoor, who filmed the incident, towards the exit. ‘King Chase’ could be heard saying he is being shown the way out for no good reason. One of the voices, though not sure whether from the security or his team, could be heard explaining that it must have something to do with a clash a few months ago. Once he came out, DeMoor went on a rant, calling out Nate Diaz and his team.

So Chase DeMoor said, “Nate Diaz, you are the softest man on the internet. You’re scared of me. You’ve been ducking me…I’am living rent-free for months in your head.” It was at the Misfits Boxing’s X Series 006 in New Orleans that Chase DeMoor faced Stevie Knight. Unfortunately, his second professional bout on April 21 ended disastrously. A false step saw him hit Knight while down, disqualifying him. Additionally, he received a two-year suspension and a $100,000 fine.
But apart from the disqualification, one more incident concerning Chase DeMoor caught everyone’s attention. While the tournament progressed, an ugly brawl broke out between him and Nate Diaz. The latter threw a water bottle at the former, resulting in a melee. Finally, security intervened and took Diaz out of the arena.

But probably, the duo was not done. They met once again on Bourbon Street in the city. Reportedly, a street fight ensued between Chase DeMoor and Team Diaz. It happened soon after Nate Diaz choked out a Logan Paul lookalike.
