Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz press conference ends in a brawl

Ahead of Diaz and Paul’s 10-round boxing match, the press conference saw many fighters trade verbal jibes following which they faced off against each other. However, things took a wild turn after Nate Diaz and Jake Paul faced off in front of the crowd in Dallas. A huge brawl broke out after the fighters separated. Tensions ultimately boiled over, but not between the two men involved in Saturday night’s big boxing main event.

A lot of pushing and shoving was involved between security guards and the teams of Jake Paul and Nate Diaz. Punches were thrown, and the scene became mayhem. The situation exploded as the main event fighters were pushed aside and a large crowd became involved in the melee. However, security was quick to separate the two camps before the incident actually erupted.

Dwayne Johnson gifts Themba Gorimbo a brand-new house

Themba Gorimbo’s ‘7-bucks’ story moved not only the MMA community but also a lot of people around the world. One of those people was WWE superstar-turned-Hollywood actor, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. He had earlier promised to help the Zimbabwean out and even gave him a pleasant surprise by meeting him in person. However, Johnson took his love and support for Gorimbo to a whole new level.

When Johnson met up with the UFC fighter, the latter showed him the couch where he used to sleep in the gym at MMA Masters. That prompted the ‘Scorpion King’ star to take him to a place claiming that it was his friend’s place. But when they arrived at that location, ‘The Rock’ revealed that it was Gorimbo’s new house.

‘The Answer’ was visibly emotional with that gesture. Even Gorimbo was saving some money to buy a house and help his family move into the States. However, after Johnson gave him a new house as a gift, the UFC star promised to send the money he had saved back home to Zimbabwe to help his people get access to basic amenities.

Conor McGregor wants a trilogy fight against Nate Diaz

After ‘The Notorious’ and Justin Gaethje made a verbal agreement for a showdown, the Irishman has now reignited his wish to fight his former rival, Nate Diaz. He wants the trilogy fight and plans to go head-to-head against the Stockton native after winning the BMF belt from ‘The Highlight’. Moreover, McGregor even trashed Diaz’s boxing match against Jake Paul, calling it a “nonsense match.”

Furthermore, this spells trouble for Michael Chandler. He was supposed to be the original opponent for Conor McGregor’s comeback fight. However, the Irishman brutally snubbed that matchup and said, “F*** Chandler.” We will have to wait and see what’s next for Chandler and what direction Dana White takes in the days to come.
