The tensions between Jake Paul and the UFC veteran Nate Diaz are increasing since the latter took to Paul’s dressing room backstage the previous night before the fight and tried to slap one of Paul’s team members.
Fortunately, Paul was not present at that very moment. If he would have been, then the course of the altercation could have been different. However, when he got to know about this incident, he addressed it.
In the post-fight interview in the ring, ‘The Problem Child’ openly slammed the UFC legend.

He said,
“I want Nate Diaz who’s he tried to come into my locker room he tried to cause some and then he always leaves the Arena so an ideas stop being a p**** and fight me.”After introspecting a bit, the Ohio-based boxer took to Twitter and tried to make sense of this altercation. Keeping aside the beef, he invited Diaz to join his team, which consists of Anderson Silva, to launch a revolt against the UFC Boss Dana White.
He took to Twitter and wrote,
“Oh Nathan, coming into my dressing room before my fight? Throwing drinks like a p*ssy. Will settle this if u ever get out of your UFC contract. Until then let’s change the game. I got big plans. I invite you to join Anderson & I to launch the United Fighters Association. In?”Oh Nathan, coming into my dressing room before my fight? Throwing drinks like a pussy. Will settle this if u ever get out of your UFC contract.
Until then let’s change the game. I got big plans. I invite you to join Anderson & I to launch the United Fighters Association. In? https://t.co/nqIPjlgjBn
