The fight between Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley was very highly anticipated back in 2021, as everybody saw this as a great leap for Jake Paul in terms of his opponents. The fight had worldwide coverage and the combat sports community stated that if he won against Woodley, they would consider him a ‘boxer’. As it turned out, Paul got into the ring with Woodley 2 times, and he even knocked him out in the second bout.
This left boxing fans and experts all around the world with their mouths agape. Additionally, this forced them to seriously consider Jake Paul’s claims of being a boxer. However, it seems that was not the only thing that made it to the public eye.
During the Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley fight, Nate Diaz created a hilarious moment by pretending to throw a punch at the MMA fighter Carrese Archer. Even UFC president Dana White shared the video on his Instagram as a hilarious prank by Diaz. The video showed Diaz walking past Archer and pretending to throw a punch.
