Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury finally went down last night and Nate Diaz was not a fan of all that unfolded. The long-standing rivalry between the younger Fury brother and the YouTuber-turned-boxer reached its crescendo in Saudi Arabia. Fury and Paul battled over eight rounds in a cruiserweight bout before the decision went to the judges. The judges awarded ‘TNT’ with a split decision victory marking the first career loss of ‘The Problem Child.’
Apart from the fight itself and the result, Jake Paul’s brother Logan Paul’s mid-fight antics also caught a lot of attention. However, one man did not take kindly to elder Paul’s actions.
Ex-UFC welterweight and MMA icon Nate Diaz went off on Logan Paul on Twitter for his actions during the fight. ‘The Stockton Slapper’ did not take kindly to Logan Paul taunting the Furys while the fight was going on.

Nate Diaz was a frontrunner to be Jake Paul’s next opponent if he had been victorious over Tommy Fury. However, those conversations have come to a standstill following his surprise defeat to Fury.
With the loss, many have begun speculating about what Paul will do next.
What’s next for Jake Paul?
Jake Paul had a rematch clause in the bout contract for Tommy Fury. From the looks of it, the 26-year-old will look to exercise the clause. Considering it was a close fight and his first loss in his career, it should not be a surprise that Paul wants to run it back.
In the press conference that followed, ‘The Problem Child’ explicitly stated his intentions for the rematch. He said, “I’m gonna go back for this rematch, I just talked to Tommy in the medical room and he’s like let’s go, let’s do it again. He’s down for it, so I think that’ll be the focus first and foremost.”
